Walk: Gatineau Corridor Trail! 9KM
Details
# 🌿 Gatineau Corridor Trail Walk
### An Easy, Flat Walk — Perfect for Getting Started
We'll begin near Kennedy Station and make our way through a series of small parks before connecting with the Gatineau Corridor Trail. Along the way, we'll pass through areas filled with wildflowers, tall grasses, and natural growth that give you a glimpse of what these spaces can look like when nature is allowed to take over a little. 🌼🌿
The city has changed the way some of these green spaces are maintained, allowing the grass and wildflowers to grow more naturally. Instead of perfectly manicured lawns, you'll see a much more colourful and natural landscape — a little reminder that sometimes the most beautiful parts of the city are the ones we simply let grow.

## 🚶♂️ What We'll Do
We'll start at the Dollar Tree and walk through the surrounding green spaces before joining the Gatineau Corridor Trail.
Along the way we'll:
- Walk through several small parks
- Follow the mostly flat trail
- Lots of wildflowers
- Stop for a break around Eglinton & Victoria Park
- Enjoy some conversation and time to get to know each other
- Make our way back to where we started
The walk is approximately 2hrs depending on the pace of the group.
And remember — you can leave at any time.
There are multiple points along the route where you can make your own way home.
