Hamiota Hiking Trails
Pitlochery and Chumah Trails
Pitlochery Trail
This trail takes walkers East of Hamiota to view the marsh life
and
enjoy the sounds of the varied bird population, which thrives in
this
area. Spring brings warblers, blackbirds and a wide array of
ducks.
Many stay for the summer to raise their young. Chickadees keep
watch over the frozen marsh during the winter awaiting the
return
of spring. The Pitlockery is located along the former railway
line.
Chumah Trail
The Chumah leads outdoor enthusiasts West of Hamiota to enjoy
the prairie grasslands and native vegetation. A viewing
platform, at
the end of the trail, affords bird watchers a quiet place to
take fantastic
photographs.
With more trees and bush cover, this trail is suited for cross
country
skiing and is groomed regularly.
The Chumah is also located along the former railway line.

are located upon the abandoned railway line providing for
excellent recreational use in all seasons. Hikers relax upon the
bench located on the east side of Hamiota on Pitlochery trail
and enjoy the spounds of spring as waterfowl return to nest in
the spring. Winter season sees the return of groomed tails along
the Chumah Trail located on the west side of the Town. The
trails were initially developed through the efforts of the
Hamiota Youth Corps and local volunteers. The trails were simply
called Hamiota Rails to Trails until their renaming in 2004 to
reflect local history of settlement development.
