PROPOSAL FOR EXPANSION OF LHNS CANINE TRAIL 2013/14
Submitted by the Canine Committee
For consideration by LHNS
October 3, 2013
In addition to the existing Multi-Use Canine Trail, the committee proposes that skiers and dogs be allowed to use the South Loop trail system within the following parameters:
• The trail would leave Chalet Loop, advancing uphill one-way on Roller Coaster, turn left onto Skyview, then onto Sentinel, back via Woodlot Ramble joining up with the existing Multi-Use Canine Trail on Sunshine. [6.3 km]
• For a shorter loop skiers and dogs would ski down from Skyview to join up with Woodlot Ramble. [4.2km]
• Skiers with dogs would ski in one direction only (counter clockwise) at all times. Skiers without dogs would continue to ski in either direction.
• please refer to the map linked here:
Canine Proposal Map 2013_
Proposed Terms of Use For All LHNS Canine Trails
• Dogs must be on a leash in the designated parking area and on the way to the multi-use trail, and from the start of Chalet Loop to the top of Roller Coaster hill.
• Off leash is permitted on all other sections of the Canine Trails, provided dogs are kept under control at all times.
• One dog is allowed per skier.
• Droppings must be scooped and removed promptly.
• Dogs are not allowed on the Canine Trails on Jackrabbit Saturdays from 10am to 1pm or during race day times as stipulated by the Race Marshall.
Existing Multi-Use Canine Trail – Two-Way All Users [0.8km]
• Multi-use means use by skiers and snowshoers with or without dogs.
Expanded Canine Trail Loop – One-Way Skiers With Dogs, Two-Way Skiers Only [4.2 or
6.3 km]
• The Canine Committee recommends this trail will be used only by skiers with or without
dogs (no snowshoers).
Respectfully submitted by the LHNS Canine Committee
