The Deer Yard trail system, located just east of Port Loring, features 3.6 km of trails on Crown Land that wind around stunning wetlands. From May to November, the trails are maintained by volunteers of the Loring Restoule Business Association who hold a Land Use Permit for the area encompassing the Deer Yard Trail. Along this easy walk, you’ll find interpretive signage to learn more about the area, and the original viewing station which is a great spot to view wildlife, and maybe spot a deer. The Trail is maintained by volunteers, sections of this trail remain wet most of the season, so be sure to wear footwear that can get muddy or wet. While not actively maintained in the winter months, the trails are a great place to snowshoe.
THE DEER YARD TRAILS ARE CLOSED FROM THE TUESDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING TO DECEMBER 30TH EACH YEAR.
Located 5km down Little River Rd in the Golden Valley, on the right-hand side, the Deer Yard features 3.6km of trails on Crown Land that wind around stunning wetlands. From May to Thanksgiving, the trails are lightly maintained by local stakeholders, including the Loring Restoule Business Association. Along this easy walk, you’ll find interpretive signage to learn more about the area, and the original viewing station still standing and in great condition – optimal for spotting one of these gorgeous creatures. And what a perfect way to view the amazing fall colours in the region, or to explore an Ontario forest in the spring and summer!
