Itinerary:

Distance: approx. 13 to 17 km

Hiking in Elk Island Park. We will hike along Tawayik lake to the west narrows and return along the same path. Only in winter can the whole trail be navigated as a loop. The narrows between Tawayik Lake and Little Tawayik Lake floods from spring through fall and remains a marsh. With a lot of luck and ideal weather, we will travel the whole trail as a loop. Be prepared to hike back the way we came in, for a full distance of 17km.

There are a number of intersections along this trail. The group is expected to stay together very closely.

Please be warned that your event coordinator has not done this hike before. Allow time/patience for unforseen circumstances please.

Required Items to Bring:
-Park Pass or money to enter park ($7)
-Water, lunch, waterproof hiking boots.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
- Hiking poles, layered clothing, gaiters, icers.

Carpool Directions:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $29.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, November 21, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
