There is a limited number of spots for this series. Hikers are encouraged to arrange their own carpooling for the following eight hikes. Some of these hikes involve driving to different locations on the day of the hike as more than one Side Trail is completed in a day.

    Category: Organized Hike
    Location (Google Maps): Devil’s Glen Provincial Park parking lot

    Hike Leader(s): Hart Fischer Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)

    Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hr, Brisk – 4 to 5 km/hr
    Terrain: Moderate – Some hills and/or some poor footing, Strenuous – Hilly with steep climbs and some poor footing
    Distance: 10km

    Description

    Hikers must register on-line for this hike. No morning sign-ins on this series as hikers will meet at the trailhead. About 10 km with almost 400m elevation gain. From the parking lot, we will follow the white blazed trail south and down to the Devil’s Glen Country Club parking lot. We then proceed east on the blue blazed Mad River Side Trail, continuing parallel to the Mad River, through Glen Huron and south on Conc 8 S/CR #62 until we come to Sideroad 15/16 Nottawasaga. Here we will see both white and blue blazes as this is a shared Bruce Trail/ Ganaraska Trail section. We continue up the hill until reaching the Ganaraska Trail End Marker – a large boulder close to the Devil’s Glen Country Club Gate. We then turn around and head back to the cars. Contact the hike leader if registration is closed.

    Category: Register in person the morning of hike.
    Location (Google Maps): Hike meets in the parking lot behind Tim Hortons on First St. in Collingwood.

    Hike Leader(s): Jennifer Roy Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)

    Pace: Leisurely – 3 km/hr. or less
    Terrain: Easy – Mostly flat and usually good footing, Moderate – Some hills and/or some poor footing
    Distance: 6.5km

    Description

    This hike is through the 284 acres of Balsam Wetlands. We will park at km 34.2 on Concession 10 South and proceed hiking across a farmer’s field and continue through a pine forest. This hike has recently been realigned so that it no longer follows the Highlands Nordic cross country ski trail and now goes through woodlands and some interesting rock formations to the Duntroon Quarry. We will then follow the white trail passing some deep crevices to the Bruce Trail parking lot off 91. Hikers will then be shuttled back to the cars. Bring a snack and water.
