The Baird Trail is a scenic circular route with three distinct loops, each offering a different view of the area’s natural and cultural features. Along the trail, marked ecological points highlight some of the region’s largest maple and beech trees, while old rail fences hint at historic farming practices. Quiet red pine plantations, established about forty years ago under a Lanark County Forest Agreement, provide a peaceful retreat, and a central sedge wetland—crossed by a boardwalk—offers clear views of typical wetland characteristics.
