Location (Google Maps): Meet at the corner of Prince of Wales Rd. and 20 Sideroad. Map 21, km 40.7. Possible to come from the south on Prince of Wales Rd. but I suggest a simpler route is — drive north on Hwy 10. At Primrose turn left and then after 4 km (before entering Shelburne) turn right on Hwy 124. Follow 124 north for 15 km then turn right on Road 21 toward Honeywood. Pass through Honeywood and then turn right on Prince of Wales Rd. Follow 3 km to roadside parking at 20 Sideroad. GPS coordinates are of course part of the hike description if you like to do things that way. Some directions might refer to the county of “Mulmur” instead of “Honeywood”.

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.
