The bubbling brook drops over dolostone ledges as it rushes on to Georgian Bay. The Trail passes a small flowerpot formation created by wave action along the shore of an ancient glacial lake. The land crossed by this loop trail was one of the earliest purchases in the 1980s under the Bruce Trail’s Land Acquisition Program. Margaret Paull was one of those early Bruce Trail volunteers who made such a dream possible.
