Get out of the house—Spring is here!  The Mavis Trail is named after area community activist Mavis Govier and offers a walk to the Bayfield River and back. Its terrain varies greatly at each turn. This is a four seasons trail with such a wide variety of landscapes that it will delight visitors at all times of the year. As you make your way to the scenic lookout at the river, you will pass through groves of pine trees and a steep ravine with a wonderful bridge.
