    Location (Google Maps): Tim Horton’s, First Street Collingwood

    Hike Leader(s): Claire Pearson Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)

    Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hr
    Terrain: Moderate – Some hills and/or some poor footing
    Distance: ~5km

    Description

    **Update: The trail is wet and muddy in certain areas, so be sure to wear proper footwear (and bring an extra pair of clean shoes for after the hike as we are car-pooling). Hiking poles are always optional, but I found them very helpful this week (especially with all the rain we’ve had).

    We will meet in the parking lot behind Tim Horton’s. From there we will carpool up Grey Road 119 to 6th line where we will begin our loop hike at the entrance of the Margaret Paull Side Trail. This scenic trail is known for its forested beauty, waterfalls, and flowerpot rock formation. Hiking this is a perfect way to celebrate Earth Day!
