Westport - Rideau Trail
From Opinicon Rd proceed about 1 km to Indian lake Rd, turn right and proceed 100 metres to the abandoned railway bed. Turn left and proceed 1.3 km . From the cottage road intersection the trail continues straight ahead along Massissauga road, crossing a bridge after 4.5km. Proceed following the signs to Foley Mountain Nature Centre.
The Trail crossed the road and winds back down the escarpment to emerge on the beach at Little Bay. The Rideau Trail itself crosses terrain ranging from placid farmland to the rugged Canadian shield. It is only intended for walking (hiking), snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.
