Pace: Leisurely – 3 km/hour or less

Distance: 6.6 kmDescription
We will depart from the parking area on Dunby Rd. (at km 68) and quietly walk south on the Bruce Trail through a pleasant re-forested area with scenic views and on to the forests of the Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve. We then follow the Cam Snell Side Trail enjoying the company of a stream before turning east through woodlands to re-join the Bruce Trail and return to our start point. Key words for this walk — forest, stream and some long steepish sections. Walkers are encouraged to take the steepish sections at their own pace – some may prefer to maintain a steady pace drinking in the forest air and some may prefer to pause for breaths and absorb the green around them. Please bring water and a lunch for on the trail. - 23June 23, 2023No events
