Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hr
Terrain: Moderate – Some hills and/or some poor footing
Distance: 5 kmDescription
We will drive to the end of the 6th Line at km 13.7 (turn off 119).
The Trail passes through a hardwood bush and abandoned farm fields to enter a pretty wooded area.
It then winds along the edge of a ravine, carved out by a small stream that is the headwaters of Indian Brook.
The bubbling brook drops over dolostone ledges as it rushes on to Georgian Bay. The Trail passes a small flowerpot formation created by wave action along the shore of an ancient glacial lake. The land crossed by this loop trail was one of the earliest purchases in the 1980s under the Bruce Trail’s Land Acquisition Program. Margaret Paull was one of those early Bruce Trail volunteers who made such a dream possible.
Bring a snack and water.

Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hr
Terrain: Strenuous – Hilly with steep climbs and some poor footing
Distance: 6.5-7 kmDescription
We will drive from Collingwood to Lions Head (2hours) and follow Rd 9 to km 67.9
at the junction of the Barrow Bay Side Trail which has now become the white blazed trail after
printing edition 30.
We follow this NEW trail to a very steep descent down the escarpment to the Georgian Bay shore.
We then follow a moderately rugged path just inside the treeline for 2km along an unspoiled rocky shoreline.
We then head back up via a steep zig zag among huge boulders until we meet a formerly impassable cliff,
now conquered by a spectacular wooden staircase built in 2020 by volunteers from the Peninsula BTC.
We will take a moment to appreciate the hard work
and beautiful views before continuing on an easy peasy walk to our end point.
The trail features cliffs, spectacular lookouts, and dense forests.
A long drive home but what a spectacular new section of our fabulous footpath to have experienced.
Bring snacks, lunch and water.
