Description
The Walk In Nature Series (WINS) consists of short loop hikes in the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail that combine nature appreciation with fitness in a safe and welcoming group environment led by an experienced hike leader. Hikes normally occur twice monthly on the second Tuesday evening and the fourth Sunday morning of each month. Consider these hikes to be 90- or 120-minute reset appointments with yourself in nature that promote health and fitness. Medium paced WINS hikes are open to all ages and levels of hiking experience whether members or non-members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC).
This hike, at West Rocks Management Area, loops through a network of forested trails that bring us to a panoramic lookout over Owen Sound.
Our 4 km loop takes us along West Rocks trails to Chalmers Quarry at km 98.4 , to Derby Forest Side Trail and return to parking.
Bring water, snacks, personal medications and supplies. Hiking poles are not required by are always welcome.
Thanks, and see you soon.
