If you’ve hiked anywhere on the Bruce Trail, you’ve encountered ferns. Large bushy ones, tiny delicate ones, perhaps growing on vertical rock faces or down low, in the forest understory. Ontario boasts close to 170 different species! For this hike, we will be joined by BTC staff ecologist Mara McHaffie who will help us learn to identify the variety of fern species we will encounter on the Walking Fern side trail. This is a slow-paced outing, with lots of time to observe, discuss and photograph what we observe.The Walking Fern side trail itself is only 1.4k in total ((linear: there and back), so if time allows, we will explore a little more on the adjacent main trail.
This hike is brought to you by the TBTC Biodiversity Team. We endeavour to promote the critical role we can all play in protecting and conserving the Niagara Escarpment.

- 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.

Is the Steeltown Stomp on your bucket list? This is your chance to crush it! Join us and prepare for this incredible challenge on October 3rd, 2026! Registration for the event is now open.If you’ve done stair climbs before, you know the deal—that brutal calf pain is real, especially when you’re just starting out. But training with us this summer? That’s how you show up on stomp day actually feeling strong instead of totally wrecked. Trust me.
We’ll start easy and build up as the summer goes on, hitting Chedoke and Dundurn Stairs with some scenic hikes mixed in. By the time October rolls around, you’ll have crushed at least 2,000 steps and you’ll actually know what you’re doing.
It’s a solid group vibe—moderate pace, warm-ups to get going, stretches to cool down. And honestly, it’s way more fun (and way less painful) doing this with people who get it.
Just grab your water bottle (there’s water at both staircases) and whatever snacks you want.
We’ve got 7 training dates lined up this summer—check the schedule and pick the ones that work for you. Do the work now, own it on stomp day. See you out there!

Is the Steeltown Stomp on your bucket list? This is your chance to crush it! Join us and prepare for this incredible challenge on October 3rd, 2026! Registration for the event is now open.If you’ve done stair climbs before, you know the deal—that brutal calf pain is real, especially when you’re just starting out. But training with us this summer? That’s how you show up on stomp day actually feeling strong instead of totally wrecked. Trust me.
We’ll start easy and build up as the summer goes on, hitting Chedoke and Dundurn Stairs with some scenic hikes mixed in. By the time October rolls around, you’ll have crushed at least 2,000 steps and you’ll actually know what you’re doing.
It’s a solid group vibe—moderate pace, warm-ups to get going, stretches to cool down. And honestly, it’s way more fun (and way less painful) doing this with people who get it.
Just grab your water bottle (there’s water at both staircases) and whatever snacks you want. And yeah, there’s optional coffee after if you want to hang out and celebrate.
We’ve got 7 training dates lined up this summer—check the schedule and pick the ones that work for you. Do the work now, own it on stomp day. See you out there!

Distance: ~3kmDescription
Are you new to group hiking, the Bruce Trail, or the Peninsula section of the Bruce Trail and want to begin your journey out on the trails? Do you want to reconnect with nature? Have you been wondering what “birding” is and want to learn more?Join us for an exploratory hike at Otter Lake Nature Reserve (km 106.0 in the 31st Ed. Ref. manual) on the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula where we’ll spend time getting to know the trail and its flora and fauna, discuss trail hiking and birding 101, and look and listen for migrating birds.
The Otter Lake property is part of a larger provincially significant wetland complex. It is comprised of a variety of wetland, forest, meadow, and alvar habitats including the property’s namesake, the shallow calcareous Otter Lake. The wetlands host a variety of breeding and migratory birds.
This hike is a “walk, stand, listen/observe” type of hike where we’ll hike to the birding platform and grassland field just beyond and then back out on the same trail back to our cars. This hike will be about 2 ½ hours in duration. Participants are welcome to linger longer after the group hike.
Weather can be variable at this time of year – dress according to the day’s conditions. Binoculars would be helpful. Wear a hat, long-sleeved shirt/pants, and waterproof closed-toed shoes with socks. A bug net shirt may be helpful. Bring a light backpack to carry water, snacks, bird ID guides, and personal materials. Though this is a short hike, the terrain can be rocky and uneven in places and muddy near the lake.
This is a perfect opportunity to work on your PBTC Birding Badge! https://peninsula.brucetrail.org/badges/
Consider extending your day on the Peninsula with a visit after the hike to the Bruce Peninsula Bird Observatory’s Open House to celebrate their 25th anniversary from 10am-4pm! https://www.facebook.com/www.bpbo.ca/
