    Description

    This hike will be a discovery hike along the Cottonwood Loop – we’ll take our time, and see what we can find. This trail is a stand-alone trail, separate from the rest of the Bruce Trail. We’ll hike through forests, past a particularly large cottonwood tree, and to a lookout along a ridge. This property is the original location of the Rows homestead – their farmhouse can be seen at Moreston Village at Grey Roots.

    The Cottonwood Loop is also featured in Ron Savage’s new book, Exploring Sydenham. There will be sufficient time to find the related code en route.

    As we’ll be taking our time, this hike is suitable for families, new hikers, and anyone wanting a more leisurely hike. We’ll likely take an hour or two, depending on the group – dress in layers, bring a snack, and wear good footwear. Given that December can be variable, an email re: trail conditions to expect will be sent out prior to our hike together.
