    Description

    If you are planning to travel by GO train to Oakville, you will be taking the 8:44 am  westbound train, so please arrive 15 minutes prior to that.  Please use the bathroom while on the GO train as there is little time for it at the Oakville GO station. You can also drive to the Oakville Station and meet us there. Parking is free on the weekends.

    We will all meet at 9:25 am at the Oakville Transit Bus Platform 27 at the Oakville GO Station (click here for station diagram.) From here we will board Bus 13 at 9:40 am and take a short bus ride to the start point of our hike. Oakville Transit buses accept Presto, and if you have paid for the GO train, the fare for the Oakville bus will register as zero when you tap your Presto card (please note: if you are using the cellphone $10 weekend day pass, the bus driver may not accept it for the Oakville Transit discount and you may be required to pay the Oakville Transit Bus Fare.) We will walk a 15 km looping trail through the 16-Mile Creek ravine (click here for route map), stopping at the halfway point for lunch (port-a-potties only; bring hand sanitizer and tp) and return to the Oakville GO Station. The trail is stone dust gravel or asphalt and mostly flat except for two steep declines and three long climbs. There is one long set of stairs to descend. The after-hike pub stop is at the Beertown Public House (click here for menu) near the Oakville GO Station.
