Category: General
Location (Google Maps): Meet at roadside parking on Innis Lake Rd., north of Finnerty Sideroad.Hike Leader(s): Dan Revington Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hour
Terrain: Moderate – some hills and/or some poor footing
Distance: 10 kmDescription
This is the first of two hikes that focus on the intersection of nature, history, and art in the beautiful dingle of the Caledon Hills.“Dingle” is an ancient word that means “wooded valley”. The dingle of the Caledon Hills runs through Glen Haffy Conservation Area. In the mid-1800s, pioneers built a rough log school in the dingle. In 1872 they built a larger school – the Dingle Schoolhouse – that still stands today. As we hike along the Bruce Trail, we will follow the path that children took to school more than a hundred years ago, and we will hear stories of the children and teachers of the Dingle Schoolhouse.
The second hike on May 23rd (which requires a separate registration) will focus on world famous Canadian artist Rosemary Kilbourn. She bought the Dingle Schoolhouse after it closed as a school, and for over sixty years she made this beautiful place deep in the woods her home and studio. We will be joined on this hike by Ms. Kilbourn’s archivist and niece, who will share stories about this remarkable woman. Our walk through the dingle will help us appreciate how Ms. Kilbourn’s work was inspired by the living presence of the land around her beloved home.
