We will drive to the Black Ash Creek Side Trail parking lot on the 2nd Line (Parking fee: $10). This will be a hike to recognize and celebrate our Indigenous peoples. We will start on this new side trail and then pick up the white blazed trail in the Petun Conservation Area. We will continue along until we cross the road at the Russ McConnell Side Trail. Following the side trail we reconnect with the white blazed trail taking us around the escarpment to take in all the views. We will continue on to the John Haigh Side Trail.There will be a little hiking on the road to get back to the cars. Bring a snack and water.
