Description
Join us for a fun and challenging hike through Nottawasaga Lookout Provincial Nature Reserve and Pretty River Valley Provincial Park. Our efforts will be rewarded with great views and hopefully the forest floor will be dotted with wildflowers. From Osler Bluff and the Petun Side Trail we should have amazing views of Georgian Bay. Afterwards cool off with a swim, an ice cream, or a cold beer in Little River Beach Park in downtown Thornbury.
We will split into two groups. The moderate group will do about 13 km at a pace of approximately 3 km/hr. The fast group will hike 16 to 18 km at a 4 km/hr pace (including on hills).
Pack lunch, water (about 2 litres), sun -, rain -, and bug protection, and your swimming gear.
Departure 1: 10 York Mills Rd at 8 AM.
Departure 2: HWY 400 and Major Mac Park and Ride at 8:20 AM
We hope to be back in the city around 7:30 PM.
