In collaboration with the National Capital Commission (NCC), the Pontiac Equestrian Association has obtained the right to develop and open a first section of the Equestrian trail, along the Gatineau Park. Right now the trail goes from Lebrun Road, East, to Steele Line, West.
The Association is responsible for maintaining and repairing the trail, a huge task accomplished with the help of wonderful volunteers. Annual embership fees and money raised through our fundraising activities finance the repairs and maintenance that keep the trail usable usable all year long.

Where can you park a trailer?
Parking is graciously offered to the
members on the Charles Vaillant F f arm, at the end of Lebrun Road. From Highway 148, turn right onto Chemin Lebrun (the road after the garage), and drive up to the last barn, where our parking sign is posted. Place your membership card or day-pass on your dashboard. Be aware that you are parking on private property at your own risk. Kindly keep the area beautiful: scoop before you scoot! |

Stay on the trail
Since the equestrian trail is in the Gatineau Park, on NCC property, and riding on it is a rivilege given to horse-riders by the NCC, it is important to stay on the trail to avoid damaging the
surrounding ecosystem.
Part of the trail is also on private property, at the Vaillant Farm, and riding in the fields is not tolerated.
Members must respect the instructions and rules in place so that we can all continue to enjoy this wonderful experience.
Always stay on the trail, do not ride in fields.
Work is continuing on marking the trail. Posters like this one have been placed at trailheads.
