The kiosk at the entrance to the Macnamara Nature Trail is at the end of McLean Ave. across from the Arnprior Amateur Ball Association diamonds.
This trail takes one through the Nopiming Game Preserve (a game sanctuary since 1920, whose creation was promoted by Macnamara). Nopiming is an Indian term meaning “in the woods.” It was originally intended to protect the beaver colonies living by the Ottawa River. Access to the preserve is courtesy of Honeywell Nylon Canada Inc., which owns the land. This trail is maintained by the Macnamara Field Naturalists’ Club.
The total distance for this trail is 3.7 km, with the Macnamara Nature Trail a further 4.5 km round trip.
