Burlington Heritage Week Hike: River & RuinJoin us for the special hike brought to you by Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club partnering with the City of Burlington for Heritage Week.
The theme this year is water, so we will hike through one of Burlington’s most historically rich landscapes. The River & Ruin trail winds through the beautiful Lowville Valley, where the natural drama of Twelve Mile Creek meets the traces of Burlington’s early settlement history. Along the way, we’ll explore the stories of Kilbride, Lowville, and the Cleaver family, whose mill, homestead, and ruins helped shape this valley nearly two hundred ago.
This hike offers more than beautiful views, it’s a walk through time. From the limestone ruins and historic mill site to the creek that powered early industry and settlement, the route reveals how farming, waterpower, and pioneering families transformed the area into one of Burlington’s most fascinating heritage corridors. If you enjoy trails with a strong sense of place, local history, and a great story under your boots, this is the hike for you.
Come discover the hidden history of Kilbride and the Lowville Valley, experience why this unique trail is one of Burlington’s most memorable heritage walks.
Note, no dogs are permitted on this hike.
