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 9 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.
