Wilsondale Trails
The Wilsondale Trails are wholly developed and maintained by the Cumberland Community Association. They are available for use both summer and winter for Community members. In summer the trails are clipped and the grass is mowed and trail maintenance occurs including construction of boardwalks and bridges. In winter 5 kms of cross country ski tracks are set and a snowshoe path is created.
Bring the Family for a wonderful afternoon out in the fresh air right here in the Village. Access to the Trails is from the parking area bordering the western edge of the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum 2940 Old Montreal Road. Be sure to look for the "WindPhone" by the bench area
Dogs are permitted "Off-Leash" while on the Trails but we ask that they are under control and have good recall. The Museum grounds are "On-Leash"
Updates
JULY 2025 - The Trails have been recently mowed/widened for easier access. Two bridges were repaired with some additional work required. The City sprayed for Wild Parsnip and another area was cut down.

The City of Ottawa sprayed to help control the spreading wild parsnip that thrives on our trail system. It’s suggested to contact the city at 311 to report any serious safety concerns on the trails. Through the fall, we would welcome volunteers to assist with trail maintenance and preparations for winter.

We have some signposts and bridges in need of repair plus ongoing trail trimming and improvements. We also anticipate replacing the west side bridge with our volunteer group. Please reach out to us if you would like to participate. The CCA has taken over track setting for free cross country skiing during the winter season,with updates of the Trails conditions added to the Ski Heritage East sites. Please check them out on social media. Our season generally runs from Jan-March. Just a reminder that the Wilsondale Trails are for non-motorized use and to please stay on the marked trails and off private property. Signs are installed to help show the way. Thanks so much and see you on the Trails!
"A nice easy trail that is dog friendly - off leash even! Perfect if you only have an hour or two. Multiple path options with a nice look out. Entrance is a little hard to find but you can find a detailed map online and the path is well posted and signed throughout the trail. Definitely one to check out!"
