Proceed south on the white blazed trail crossing the Noisy River via the new bridge, for 1.5 km until you come to a small bench overlooking a pond. Turn around and head back to the car. Repeat this twice more for a total of three 3 km trips. This is a hilly hike, so bring lots of water and lunch.

Distance: 6kmDescription
We will start from the Franks Kiln parking lot. We will follow the white trail, you can enjoy the view once arriving at the “Wedding Tree”. We will carry on or not for a distance and then retrace our steps back to the “Wedding Tree” where we will stop for a picnic. Bring your own picnic lunch and water. Many, many moons ago, a young couple were married by an old maple tree situated on top of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking the Georgian Bay on the Bruce Trail located in the upper field of the Franks’ Highfield Farm, Duntroon. The young couple affixed to the tree a carved wooden sign citing all the details of the event (bagpiper and all) thereby, formally identifying the tree as “The Wedding Tree”! Alas, this thoughtful record went missing in 2015! Wouldn’t it be nice if it was found, as another relative would like to record their wedding on it. Bring lunch and water.
