Marlborough Forest - Rideau Trail
Intersection with Merrickville Blue Loop. At this intersection a short detour (500 metres) to the right along a side trail with blue markers elads to a Rideau Creek tributiary, where the foundation of an old saw mill can be found.
Towards the end of this section the trail follows the Roger Stevens road follow to the Rideau Trail Campsite. The property is owned by the Rideau Trail Association and has drinking water and an open fire pit. The trail continues until it crosses the main CNR railway line and joins a crushed stone access road under the hydro line.
