Information
The footing is good on
the country roads, but hiking boots make walking easier on the abandoned
Canadian National railway line. The walker descends into Alice, a compact
and pretty village situated on the Indian river. The northern part of
the walk is through rolling country-side, while the southern half is
mainly through secondary-growth bush. Alice Township, first surveyed
in 1855, is likely named in honour of Queen Victoria’s second daughter.
How
to get there
From Hwy 17 skirting around Pembroke, take
Hwy. 58 and drive west and straight for 6.5 km until the very first
bend in the road. Take the right turn onto Borne Rd and park by the
Cemetery.
Directions
- Walk down German Rd towards Hwy 58.
Cross the bridge, then the highway onto Bucholtz Rd. TAKE
CARE CROSSING THE HWY. Carry on down Bucholtz Rd crossing over
the Indian River. Not far from Hwy 58, there is a cedar stump fence
on your left.
- After a couple
of kilometres, turn right onto Sandy Beach Rd. Walk through bush for
another two kilometres, turning right at Dabers Rd. Follow Dabers
Rd across Hwy 58. TAKE CARE CROSSING THE HWY.
Carry on past St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church and Cemetery.
Traverse the bridge over the swift Indian River and walk on about
250 metres to Station Hill Rd. The abandoned Canadian National railway,
now a snowmobile trail, crosses the road.
- Turn right and walk 1½ km on
the CN line (or alternatively walk along Borne Rd). Leave the railway
line, on the right hand side. Walk along Borne Rd for a short distance,
back to your vehicle.
