Information
The 2.3 km trail loops through Shaw Woods,
a protected area of old growth forest. Other trails, that allow access
to the area's natural beauty, have been recently added by The National
Museum of Sciences and The Nature Conservancy of Canada.
How
to get there
On Hwy 41, 13 km north of Eganville, skirting
the northeastern shore of Lake Doré, turn right on Bulgar Road
(Cty Rd 9), (do not take the Shaw Woods Rd) About 1 km up the road,
on the right, are dual panels for the Shaw Woods. There is place to
park.
Directions
- Enter the woods and follow the wood
chip path up the slight hill. The walking trail ends at an ancient
white cedar swamp which is a good place to observe dragonflies.
- Turn left along the unpaved Basswood
Rd.
- Take another left at the paved Bulgar
Rd, which is the way back to the start (alternatively, just before
reaching Bulgar Rd, take the dirt road on your left through the woods.
When the dirt road vers to the left - cross through bush to Bulgar
Rd).
- The walk can
be extended by walking about 0.7 km from the Shaw Woods entrance towards
Lake Doré. Turn right up the narrow country road, cross the
Snake River and continue on until the paved Mountain Rd. Retrace your
steps to your car.
