The Gallery at L.E. Shore is pleased to host a presentation with Stephen Couchman and Bruce King on Tuesday, March 19 at 7pm to explore the Kolapore wilderness trails.
For most people, Kolapore is a slight bend in Grey Road 2 south of Ravenna with an old schoolhouse and a church. For others it is one of Southern Ontario’s best backcountry ski areas, the largest block of protected wilderness in the region, source of pure spring water, and home to many species of flora and fauna. Maintained by a small group of dedicated volunteers, the Kolapore Trails are a treasure of the region and a gift to the community. Learn more about the trails on the Kolapore Trails website.
Join us for an evening of storytelling about the history of the trails and discover some of the hidden gems that lie through the woods and down the path.
This is a free event. Registration is required.
