Description

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 or 120 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)

On this hike we will walk a 4 km loop with a medium pace on the interesting side trail, Sydenham Nature Reserve and the access along the rail trail, the Keeling side trail.  It is quite level with a short rocky section and almost certainly one or both of mud and snow.

Dress in layers, bring water, a snack and hiking poles if you have them.

Arrive 15 min before the hike start time.

Thanks and see you soon.
