Description

Join us for a fun hike on the Oak Ridges Trail and through the rolling hills of the beautiful Northumberland County Forest. We will explore a black oak woodland, one of Canada's rarest habitats, and stop to enjoy the view of the Rice Lake plains from the top of Lookout Mountain. Our day will also include a walk through Peter's Woods, a magnificent old growth forest that's home to oak and maple trees that are more than 400 years old. Finish with refreshments and holiday shopping at The Big Apple.

Expect some short, steep hills. Total distance: moderate group about 12 km, fast group 15 km +
