Prescott-Russell Trail

About the Walk

Join us at the Bourget Pavilion for a guided community walk along the scenic Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail. Starting from the Bourget Pavilion, we'll enjoy a relaxed 3 km out-and-back walk, travelling 1.5 km along the trail before returning.

We'll be joined by a special guest walk leader to lead the walk and help participants explore this section of the Trans Canada Trail, and log a few more kilometres together for the Great Canadian Hike Challenge. Our event booth will also be part of the Bourget Market, so stick around after the walk to browse local vendors, enjoy the community atmosphere, and spend the afternoon exploring the market.
