      No, Missing Lynx, Treehugger & part of Broken Moose are all mostly on provincial crown land, the bottom parts of all 3 are on the same private land that Espresso & Rabbit's Too are on.They are not on Otway's land agreement with the government.

      Is this trail actually on private property? GPS shows it running through the same land parcels as Espresso. Same with Treehugger.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
