“It’s superb” – South Mountain Press reporting about the Elk Link Trail
September 9th, 2022 in South Mountain Press – “The uniqueness of the [Elk Link Trail] and [Trans Canada Trail] in our area […] is that it is prairie countryside. […] You go past century-old farms, beautiful fields and country vistas, old cemeteries, abandoned farm sites, a lovely old barn, obsolete farm machinery, the Rolling River itself, and an interesting old trestle bridge that used to be part of the rail line.” – taken from South Mountain Press_2022_09_9, p. 3, written by Candy Irwin
