Description
This series features rivers in our Headwaters area: the Humber, Nottawasaga, Boyne, Pine, Mad, Noisy and Pretty Rivers and includes 7 hikes from three Bruce Trail Sections: Blue Mountains (3), Dufferin Hi-Land (2) and Caledon Hills (2).
Today we will walk by and around the Nottawasaga River. From the parking area on Hockley Road we follow the road to the main trail starting at Hockley Rd, then follow the main trail north to the Tom East Side Trail. We will connect again to the main trail and head north along the main trail to the Isabel East Trail. From there we will follow the main trail until we reach the north end of the Cam Snell Side Trail. At the end of the Cam Snell Side Trail we will connect again to the main trail and follow it back to Hockley Road and the parking area.
Please be prepared for the weather, we will hike rain or shine. Ensure you have enough water,lunch and snacks, sunscreen and bug repellent. Hats and sunglasses are recommended as are poles and sturdy shoes.
For those wishing to earn their 7 Rivers - complete all 7 hikes, badges will be available on the last day from the hike leaders at a cost of $10 for members and $15 for non members.
Anyone completing make-up hikes may log their hikes and apply directly to the Dufferin Highlands BT Club for the badge.
