Description
Join us for an Iroquoia pop-up hike - the first in the ""Up the Iroquoia!"" series of hikes exploring the mighty Iroquoia Section of the Bruce Trail. We will take in the magnificent heights of Kelso in a combination loop/""in-and-out"". The main hike is 10 kms which will take us back to the cars where folks can drop out if they so desire. The more intrepid among us will grasp the nettle firmly and head to the Hilton Falls parking lot and back (4.5 kms). Participants must navigate their own way through the Conservation Halton website to make at least two back-to-back two-hour reservations (4 hours total) if they opt for the 10 kms. Three two-hour back-to-back reservations suggested if the 15 km hike is chosen. Halton Conservation annual pass membership strongly recommended as we will be hiking other Halton Conservation trails in the weeks ahead. Please don't forget the Daylight Savings Time change the day of the hike. Hiking boots mandatory. Bring plenty of liquids, a snack and a lunch. Your own song and singing on the trail optional. Beatles preferred. Godspeed.

A coda to my series of Credit River Valley hikes begun in July, this scenic hike is part of the Bruce Trail System and roughly 15 kilometers upstream from the last hike that carried us as far as Churchville and the Eldorado Park neighborhood in Brampton. We will be hiking a there and back on a 5 km section of CVF closest to the town of Georgetown with the option of extending the hike another 2 km north of our meeting spot. This hike is not for the faint-hearted as it entails a number of difficult climbs, some steep and requires caution on the part of each participant. Feel free to contact me regarding your suitability and for me to answer any of your questions. Hiking poles highly recommended.

Follow Winston Churchill Blvd. north of Bovaird Drive (HWY 7) to 17 Sideroad/Mayfield Rd. Turn left onto 17 Sideroad. At the intersection of 17 Sideroad and River Drive continue straight on Tenth Line to 20 Sideroad. Turn left and drive 650 meters to where the blue blazed trail with a stile on the north side crosses the road, east of the cemetery. Park on the shoulder.

Description
he Fletcher Creek Ecological Preserve is a unique natural area. The area is 414 acres in size and is located at the headwaters of the Spencer Creek Watershed. The area is an important groundwater recharge area and is considered a provincially significant wetland.
An abandoned quarry at the site was rehabilitated, resulting in the creation of a rare type of wetland. Environmental improvements to the area resulting from the restoration are significant and include the expansion of a fen plant community — the rarest form of wetland in Ontario — creation of additional habitat for rare plants and animals already in the area, a new breeding area for leopard frogs, snakes, and a variety of small mammals, such as groundhogs, foxes and bats. A mix of coniferous and deciduous trees will create a canopy that, over time, will provide valuable shelter for wintering birds and mammals. The area contains a trail system and interpretive panels.

This is the first of two family hikes in November. We will meet at the Taylor Road parking lot at Woodend Conservation Area and enjoy a leisurely paced (approximately 3km/hr) 90 minute hike on the main Bruce Trail as well as on the Wetland Ridge Side trail. There will be some hills, beautiful forest, wetlands & vineyard vistas.
During this hike youth hikers will be encouraged to think about how they are using their 5 senses during the hike & after the hike they can do a small write up or drawing of how they used their 5 senses during the hike & bring this to the second hike to earn their Young Nature Blazers Badge. Youth hikers that earn both the Young Nature Blazers Badge and the Young Trail Blazers Badge will receive a copy of Birthday Boots, by Cindy Conlon, a delightful tale of a young family's first hike on the Bruce Trail.
All youth must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and the registration process must be completed for each family member separately, including children, so we have an accurate head count. Participant numbers are limited. Use your membership number for any youth you will be bringing.
If you are new to Bruce Trail hikes please review the Know Before You Go section on brucetrail.org to ensure you are prepared for your hiking adventure & familiar with hiking responsibly & safely in the time of Covid-19.
If you are a new Bruce Trail member or don't have a membership number yet please contact the hike leader for information on how to register.
Due to Covid restrictions & social distancing requirements please ensure you are prepared & self sufficient. Have masks (not required to wear but you should have on hand), hand sanitizer, first aid supplies, water, snacks. We cannot share.

COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike
- Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
Find Ontario's self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
- If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
- Follow the guidelines for safe & responsible hiking
- Personal Protective Equipment:
- Hikers may choose to wear masks
- Hikers may carry and use hand sanitizer, but should not be sharing it with the group
- Hikers who experience COVID-19 symptoms following a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must inform their local public health unit.
Find your local health unit at http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/common/system/services/phu/locations.aspx
Other Guidelines
- Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
- Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
- Always carry I.D. and your health card.
- Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
- Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
- Bring your own first aid kit.
- Please leave dogs at home.
Transportation
All hikers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the hike.
Currently, there are no car shuttles on hikes – all hikes must be out-and-back or loop hikes. No buses are provided at this tim
