Description

We’ll be heading out on a scenic loop hike that begins and ends at the Rattlesnake Point Side Trail. Our route will take us along both the main Bruce Trail and connecting side trails all the way to Crawford Lake. There, we’ll explore the main trail loop before continuing back through the beautiful Nottawasaga Canyon. Expect some rolling hills and a mix of rocky, uneven terrain—nothing too extreme, but definitely a good workout.

Pace is brisk on the flats and medium on the hills.

Please book your parking spot in advance through Conservation Halton.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED!

Description

*This is not a hike. This is a habitat restoration work party. It is being entered into the hike schedule as a pilot in response to asks for work parties be added to the schedule in addition to the volunteer communications 🙂 *

Our Club is now maintaining the section of main trail that goes through the Badlands.  Earlier this year, volunteers worked for days to improve the main trail with limestone/gravel to eliminate muddy sections and ensure the trail is satisfactory for the many visitors to this section.

On Sunday, November 9th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00, volunteers are needed to assist with removing the invasive species of buckthorn and prune back the larger buckthorn trees.  Volunteers will be provided with “extractigators” but, please bring your own loppers if you have some.

Bring gloves, water, snacks etc for yourself.
