Chelsea is so lucky to have an intricate network of neighbourhood trails. Given that most of Chelsea is squeezed between the Gatineau River and Gatineau Park, this trail system allows people to walk, bike, hike, dog walk, snowshoe between neighbourhoods and the Park as well as the village of Chelsea and the Voie Verte. There’s a fantastic website with detailed maps – see below – where you can zoom in on the trails for each sector.
One thing I love about this system of trails is that it allows kids to visit friends without ever having to walk along busy roads. The trails are accessible all year long, and are maintained by volunteers. A great place to meet your neighbours and to enjoy a walk in the woods!
