Welcome to Beaver Valley,The goal of this hike is to earn the NEW BEAVER VALLEY APPLE TREE BADGE! If you would prefer to receive the Stained Glass Badge please let me know and bring an additional $20 with you so I can get it ordered for badge day.
The Tuesday Trekkers will achieve one of these badges by hiking all 8 Tuesdays in this series. As life sometimes can be interrupted and you need to bail on a hike please don’t stress. You can make up two hikes on your own and still qualify for the badge on the final day. Please keep a log of the missed hikes and get them to me by the last day.
The fee goes towards supporting the Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Club, which in turn supports the mission of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, which is: “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.”
For the time being, registration for the Beaver Valley E2E in 8 will be limited to members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Hikers can belong to any section.
Please note there are no refunds!
This particular set of 8 hikes is intended to be BRISK (4K-5K PER HOUR) Please be honest about your degree of physical fitness prior to registration.
All hikes in this series will include a car shuttle and everyone will take a turn as a shuttle driver. Experience with hiking 16k/day at a brisk pace (4-5km/hr) is essential. Ideally we will hike from km0 to km119.9 over the series of 8 hikes but as conditions change and parking issues arise I will ask you to be flexible with the routes and trust my judgment. You will receive an e-mail outlining meeting location and start location for each hike as well as any other information needed closer to the start of the hike event.
We will have a clothing adjustment break, and 2 snack/lunch breaks of 10 min each. Please have your water accessible while hiking (water bladder recommended)
There will be plenty of opportunity for photos. I recommend having your camera/phone accessible to get all those great shots.
No dogs!
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.

Distance: 4 kmDescription
The Walk In Nature Series (WINS) consists of short loop hikes in the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail that combine nature appreciation with fitness in a safe and welcoming group environment led by an experienced hike leader. Consider these hikes to be 90 minute reset appointments with yourself in nature that promote health and fitness. Medium paced WINS hikes are open to all ages and levels of hiking experience whether members or non-members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC).This hike, close to Owen Sound, loops through a network of forested trails. As a follow-up to last month’s hike from the same start point, this time we will hike the trails on the west or left side of the road allowance, The Derby Forest Tract, one of the Grey County Forests. This quite mature forest is an interesting mix of conifers and deciduous trees which will boast colours across the spectrum.
Our 4 km loop follows the red trail, then parallel to the main Bruce Trail, and finally along the path on the road allowance to parking.
Thanks, and see you soon.
