- **Event Description**: Explore Gould Lake, one of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Areas within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Region.About this EventJoin Jim Moss, the Activities Coordinator and a member of the Rideau Trail Association on Friday September 11th from 5:30 to 7pm for a guided hike along the Mine Loop and Wagon Trail at Gould Lake Conservation Area - a Cataraqui Conservation property. There were once several mica mines operating near Gould Lake, with the last one closing in 1912. Hikers can still see a number of old pits and a large boiler along the current trail, which is a side loop from the full Rideau Trail. We'll also be on the lookout for a evening birds, natural stone bridge and hopefully spy one of the resident porcupines (no promises though!)We'll meet at the Gould Lake parking lot (1540 Gould Lake Road) before starting this approximately 5km hike. The trail is considered moderate to advanced difficulty/intensity as there are many rocks and roots and we'll be keeping a steady pace in order to be back before sunset for a fun snack!Leashed dogs are welcome.Parking is available on-site for free.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/39aecca0-a6e3-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w555-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg Hikes run rain or shine and are only cancelled in the case of extreme weather.
