OBJECTIVES
The club’s objective is to resuscitate and maintain the historically established cross-country skiing and hiking trails that pass through Ivry, such as the Laurentian Trail and the Maple Leaf Trail, created by Jackrabbit Johannsen in the 1930s and 1940s. It also works with many volunteers to expand the network of trails that exist in the hills and valleys of Lac Manitou. Many new trails with a total distance of over 50 kilometers have been cleared, marked and mapped, allowing cross country skiers, snowshoers and hikers to enjoy their sports year-round. These trails feature some of Ivry’s most beautiful promontories and pastoral vistas.
TRAILS CLUB ACHIEVEMENTS
Since its inception, the Ivry Trails Club has successfully reopened the historic Jackrabbit Johannsen Trail and created a network of more than 20 trails around Lac Manitou and its surrounding lakes. Such achievements were made possible with the support from over 100 members, as well as significant support from private Ivry landowners, from Conservation Manitou (the largest charitable land conservancy in the Laurentians), from the Municipality of Ivry-Sur-Le-Lac and from the AALM itself.
