    Description

    Each Friday we will explore different neighbourhoods, trails and parkland throughout Historic Niagara-on-the-Lake.

    Moderate pace with some weeks entirely on sidewalks and roads while others may include a mix of trails and paved pathways. Great way to build up endurance for longer more strenuous hikes.

    Prepare for cooler windy conditions on open parkland and along Lake Ontario and Niagara River trails.

    Plan to stay for conversation and a warm cup of coffee or tea at Sweets & Swirls, Community Centre, Niagara Stone Road, NOTL2020

    COVID-19 Precautions Before, During and After your Hike

    Each hiker joining a Bruce Trail Club organized hike must perform a self-screening check before hiking.
    Find Ontario’s self-assessment tool here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
    If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, stay home.
    Personal Protective Equipment:
    Hikers may choose to wear masks

    Transportation

    It is the Bruce Trail Conservancy’s current policy that car shuttles are allowed.  It is at the discrepancy of individual hike leaders to make that decision.

    Other Guidelines

    Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
    Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
    Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
    Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience.
    Always carry I.D. and your health card.
    Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
    Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
    Bring your own first aid kit.
    Please leave dogs at home.
