Pace: Medium
Terrain: Moderate, Some rocky footing, Some steep sections
Length of Hike: 5 kmsDescription
- Our hike takes us along a route that showcases much of the new construction that has recently been completed in the Hogg’s Falls area. Multiple bridges across the Boyne River allow for hiking loops. We will walk southward from the parking lot along the Main Trail and then we will cross the Boyne River. The Trail rises well above the Boyne River meaning there’s some steep inclines. Another bridge is crossed to return to the other side of the Boyne and then we include a loop into uplands. A visit to see the Falls is a special view.
