    Burlington Heritage Week Hike: River & Ruin

    Join 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.

    Description

    Join us for a relaxed hike around Queenston Heights, with a few stops along the way to sketch what catches your eye. These outings are about slowing down, observing the world more closely, and practising concentration, attention, and creativity.

    No artistic experience is needed. The focus isn’t on creating a perfect drawing or meeting any standard—it’s simply about noticing, exploring, and enjoying the process. Over the coming months, we’ll return to Queenston Heights on different hikes, gradually building a personal collection of small sketches inspired by the changing landscape.

    Please bring:

    A small blank notebook/sketchbook. It doesn’t need to be quality paper. A spiral binding makes it easier to open flat.

    A small selection of any of these: coloured pencils, graphite pencils, markers or ink pens and an eraser.

    Not necessary but nice- a small lightweight stool

    Dress as you would for an easy hike.  Bring snack, water, poles and bug spray.

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.
