The Gibson Trail  is a 5.3 km flat, crusher fines-surfaced trail that “travels through urban and rural settings with secluded woodland and scenic views of the Nashwaak River.”

Odell Park   Some of the 16 km of trails in the forested park are accessible or at least easy walking.  We walked east from Montgomery and Smythe by the water tanks, GPS:  N45° 56.974′   W66° 39.843′.  This part is level and wheelchair accessible but then intersects the still easy, but steep, Main Woods Trail, which might be challenging in a wheelchair.  On foot, we turned down hill till we came to path on the right to come back up and complete our loop.    From the website: “The trail near the main entrance has a smooth and level crusher dust surface which makes it easily accessible to all users. As you head up into the wooded areas, the trail becomes steeper in grade and is a more difficult climb. “
