Barnhart Heritage Walking Trail

Gordon Barnhart Heritage Walking Trail

This walking trail extends from Hill Street and the Immigration Hall Garden to the Heritage Trail Gazebo on Crescent Lake Road. It honours a local son, Gordon Barnhart, who served as Saskatchewan’s 20th Lieutenant Governor. At his request, it also honours a broader community including three specific builders of democracy, namely Messers. William Eakin, Thomas MacNutt, and James Sneadker: area veterans of armed conflicts and the importance of local school districts within the community’s history.

The trail includes many tree-planting areas. Many trees have been and still are planted in memory of someone, or a celebration of an event. These trees are marked with a dedication plaque. An opportunity to sponsor a tree is available through the Saltcoats Town Office - 306 744-2212
