Information The Wallace and Area Museum has a variety of amenities for visitors to enjoy. It offers visitor information services (when open), free wifi in the parking lot, an enchanting backdrop of floral gardens, an apple orchard and waterfront area perfect for picnics, and seven kilometres of walking trails. The trails vary in difficulty from the Wisqoq Trail (5 minute walk, mostly boardwalk) to the Loyalist Trail (Upturned roots, boggy patches, and the possibility of trees down across the trail) that goes over 3km to connect with the Great Trail. No bicycles or motorized equipment are allowed.

Trail maps are available onsite year-round. Bug spray, waterproof footwear, and bringing your own drinking water are highly recommended.
