    Terrain: Easy

    Description

    Cameron Lake area is a unique ecosystem that nurtures a lovely mixed forest and provides a secure habitat for many birds in the area. Our walk in the woods will follow the snowmobile trail over terrain that is mostly sandy and flat with a few short, gentle inclines. There may be some wet spots along the way.  The loop hike is ~3 1/2 km with an option for some hikers to exit at the 2 ½ km point, if they wish. No washrooms available.

    We are very happy to have Bob Knapp join us for this walk  in the woods! Bob is a long time volunteer with the Bruce Trail Conservancy – from land stewardship to trail captain and club leadership – Bob has done, and still does, so much for BTC and the broader conservation community. Bob will share his knowledge about tree identification and help us to deepen our understanding of the broader tree ecosystem.
