New trails in Lakestone give panoramic views over Lake Country
The new network includes Beacon Hill Trail, Summit Trail and a pavilion, with the trail system expected to reach 28.8 kilometres.
- On Friday, Lake Country Blair Ireland officially opened 7.5 kilometres of new trails in Lakestone, bringing the area's current network to just under 20 kilometres.
- Planning for the trail system began in 2012 with a 24 kilometres goal, but MacDonald Development Corporation later expanded the project scope to 28.8 kilometres.
- Residents can now access Beacon Park, offering a 360-degree panoramic view including the Bennett Bridge, while development manager Johnathon Campbell noted MDC worked with environmental teams to ensure stewardship.
- Ireland emphasized that the trails enhance quality of life more effectively than basic infrastructure, allowing families to engage with nature directly within their community.
- The 250-acre preservation alongside the 300-metre elevation gain from Lakeshore to The Summit positions Lakestone as a model for balancing community growth with environmental stewardship.
