Ontario Trails News - Saugeen Valley opens horse trails, and all about Trailhead Ontario 2016, Trailhead North and Trailhead Georgian Bay
Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority to promote horse trail riding!
PRESS RELEASE
For Release: Immediately
Date: March 2, 2016
Subject: Horse Camping at Saugeen Bluffs Conservation Area
SVCA Chomping at the Bit to Provide Horse Camping!
Saugeen Conservation is planning a big change this year for Saugeen Bluffs Conservation Area, located in central Bruce County, Municipality of Saugeen Shores. Horse camping will be featured at the park, a first-time venue for this part of Ontario.
“We’re very excited about this new venture”, stated Luke Charbonneau, Chair of Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority. “We’ve had some difficulties over the past few years attracting new campers to the park and we think this whole new venue may provide some incredible opportunities for horse enthusiasts and put Saugeen Bluffs back on the map”, Charbonneau continued.
“We put some feelers out first to see if there would be a market for this type of thing and the response was incredible”, stated Wayne Brohman, General Manager / Secretary –Treasurer for the SVCA. “There are only two other campgrounds in the province that offer horse camping and both are located in Eastern Ontario.”
Saugeen Bluffs offers scenic vistas and approximately 200 regular campsites. The property winds along the Saugeen River and is a regular stop-over for canoeists and fishermen. There is a Camp Store, kayak and canoe rentals, shower building, laundromat, a scenic look-out, trails and more. The horse camping will be featured in Campbell Campground, one of the group campgrounds.
“The development of a horse friendly campground is an exciting addition to the great experiences available across BruceGreySimcoe. Bringing your horse along on your vacation isn’t something that’s available in very many places across Ontario and we think that being able to explore parts of the Region on horseback will encourage many new visitors to come vacation here”, stated Bill Sullivan, Executive Director of BruceGreySimcoe Tourism or RT07.
Staff have already begun marking out trails on the 300 acre property that will provide horse riders (campers and day users), with some great trail riding opportunities.
Horse camping is just one recommendation included in a new Business / Marketing Plan, developed by staff this year. “In addition to the horse camping, the Plan recommends other improvements,” reported Charbonneau, “including some new signage, new management for the Camp Store, RV rentals, the conversion of one of the main buildings into an Activity Centre, the provision of WiFi services and much more. We’re very fortunate in that we have an incredible ‘volunteer’ base to work with in making this come together, including our valued seasonals. I’m very optimistic that we can bring some real positive changes to the park for 2016.” concluded Charbonneau.
The SVCA will also be hosting a Public Open House at the park on Sunday, May 15th from 1-4pm. Bring the whole family out to check out the park, hike some trails, take in the look-out and get a personalized tour.
A Grand Opening for the Horse Camp will be featured on Saturday, June 4. Horse-drawn wagon rides, live entertainment, vendors, equine product sales and more!

Ontario Trails News - Trailhead Ontario 2016, Trailhead Georgian Bay, Trailhead North
Educate Folks about Winter with an OTC Poster!
In order to best explain our relationship between users and our organizations we have produced an "Ontario Trails and...(Use Group)" poster series. Each member group has a page on the OTC website where OTC explains what we do, and the member explains what they do, so that people can see how we work together.
In addition it is clear that the relationship between major use groups and the Ontario Trails Council is not well understood. We have circulated the poster template to member organizations in the interest of having them add their voice to a better public understanding of their work.
As the OTC continues to grow, and we work with the major use groups as they work to secure land for their activity, and as we work with land managers to promote and manage land access, the OTC wants everyone to understand we want resolution to local issues, with the regulatory and legislative changes that makes all our jobs easier, without losing sight of regulations and safety.
Know a user or trail group you'd like to have a poster for?
Ask them if they are a current OTC Member. If they are we'd be happy to produce a poster for everybody to use.
We are also working with Conservation Ontario, and have asked others such as Ontario Invasive Species, County Forest Managers and Ontario Parks to participate in this important public awareness campaign.
For more information contact: Patrick Connor, at 613-484-1140, execdir@ontariotrails.ca
