Meet at the Kiosk and parking lot at 6710 Wellington County Road 34, just west of Sideroad 10. This lovely trail winds through a hemlock grove, diverse forests and rolling hills. The Little Tract was donated to the County of Wellington by John Robert Little, in 1946, to be reforested and dedicated to the memory of the first pioneers of the area. It is one of the most significant and diverse natural areas in the County, with parts being Provincially Significant wetlands and the entire site within the Oil Well Bog/Little Tract Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA). A number of the plants and animals found within the tract are considered to be rare. In addition to an extensive trail system, the Little Tract is also home to the County of Wellington’s Green Legacy tree nursery.
Bring water; poles and bug repellent may be useful.
