Forêt Backus
Discover Backus Woods, in Walsingham, Ontario, recognized by UNESCO as an ecological site of global importance. The many trails welcome visitors year-round and offer activities such as hiking, running, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. You will have the chance to admire some of the oldest trees in the province as well as rare animal species.
The site is accessible in several ways: by asphalt roads to the north, south and southeast as well as by a dirt road, the 4th Concession Road, which crosses the forest. Parking spaces are available at each entrance, but are not always visible from the street. Also note that the Backus Forest is near campsites, including the one at Backus Heritage Conservation Area.
Enjoy this oasis for free! Dogs on a leash are welcome.
