I have always wanted to explore the mountain bike trails that crisscross the Bruce Trail in this part of Waterdown. We'll wander around and see where they all go to, on foot, not on bicycles (this is the BTC web page after all!). I will bring a GPS to lay a breadcrumb trail and to help us get back to our cars...... eventually! This is a very hilly area, so be warned, you will get a work-out.
Hike Leader: Louise Langlais; Email: langlaislouise@gmail.com. Cell: 519-222-4040 on day of hike. At other times, email is the best way to contact me. Wear appropriate quick-dry clothing and hiking boots. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent (summer), icers (winter), snacks, lunch, a personal first aid kit, and 1-2 litres of water.

Friday NIAGARA SIDE TRAIL CHALLENGE HIKES!
Every Friday at 10 am starting November 20th and running through until April. Join 1 or join all to work towards earning the NBTC Side trail badge. We will have some makeup hikes at the end once we've worked through all the side trail requirements once.
Side trail badge requirements & logs are found in the Niagara Bruce Trail Club website under badges for your own tracking.
We will hike the Staff Ave & Louth side trails and a loop with the mail trail.
Registration is mandatory & limited due to limited parking. This parking lot is not always plowed so we will have to watch the weather & potentially reschedule.
