Can you spot our Osprey Family?

At the corner of Highway 6 and McCulloch Drive teetering on the top of a hydro pole is a family of Osprey which has made Espanola its home. Local Photographer Paul Grimard who is also a National Geographic photo journalist has captured the Osprey family while nesting and in flight.

Our challenging 9-hole golf course is bordered by the beautiful Spanish River. Take a swing but keep an eye out for meandering deer which generously share the course with local and visiting golfers. The course is meticulously cared for by a team of dedicated volunteers.

The Black Creek Sno-Shoe Trail is located on the north side of Panache Lake Road, half a kilometer past the Yard Waste Disposal, and before the bridge over Black Creek.  It is 1.5 km long, consisting of two joined loops. It follows along Black Creek.  There are multiple pathways which include level ground and hillside routes, complete with benches and birdfeeders. In the summer, the trail is partially accessible to people using wheelchairs and walkers. It is a bustling place with frequent visitors of all ages and ability levels. There is ample parking directly in front of the fishing pier and picnic area. Please visit the trail’s facebook page “Black Creek Sno-Shoe Trail” for more information.
