Description
This hike is in the Loree area. We'll walk a step creekside section to reach the lookout over Nottawasaga Bay. From there, we'll head out of Sideroad 21 to an area with a beautiful glowing stream. After crossing Sideroad 21 again, we'll enter the Len Gentler Memorial Forest but we'll only use the Len Gentler Side Trail to make our way back to our trailhead. A little bit of road walking finishes our hike.
