3074 Community Events Find the treasure box and be entered to win prizes! The Great Trail Treasure Hunt heads to Devon this summer for the first time to get outdoor enthusiasts out to enjoy Devon’s river valley, while looking for the treasure box hidden somewhere along the trails. The hunt starts June 19 and runs until Aug. 18, giving adventurers plenty of time to deduce the location of the treasure. “More than bridging Voyageur Park and the Lions Campground, the Devon river valley trail system connects Devonians to the wonders of Canadian wildlife and the rich wilderness in our own backyard,” said Ray Ralph, Mayor for the Town of Devon. “We are excited for the opportunity to host this leg of the Great Trail Treasure hunt for the first time and to be a part of Canada’s Great Trail network.” How do I participate?
