    Description

    This hike takes us through a long stretch of forest protected by the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority and by the BTC. There are some crevices in rock to be seen here. A good walk in the woods. Once we reach the 7th Line, we return on the same route.

    Guidelines

    1. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
    2. 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.
    3. Always carry I.D. and your health card.
    4. 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.
    5. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
    6. Bring your own first aid kit.
    7. Please leave dogs at home.

    🌕 Full Moon Hike Series: Part 2 of 7 🌕

    Join us for a captivating evening hike along Ginebek Miikaans – the Snake Trail Boardwalk on the sacred land of the Chippewas of Nawash.

    Your Anishinaabe guide Caley Doran will introduce us to the natural and cultural wonders found along Ginebek Miikaans – the Snake Trail Boardwalk. Miikaans is part of the Bruce Trail that is located along the shoreline of Wiikwedoonse (Sydney Bay) in the unceded Anishinaabek territory of Neyaashiinigmiing.  This trail winds through mixed forest, to the edges of an active beaver dam and lodge, and along the shoreline of Sydney Bay. During this exploration you will learn about the traditional plants and wildlife that play a pivotal role in the traditional and contemporary lives of the Anishinaabek people. There are two very nice lookouts to take in the natural beauty of Sydney Bay and a beaver pond.

    You can learn more about the traditional Anishinaabek teachings from time immemorial. Visit the Cape Croker Park website for more information on their Anishinaabe Cultural Experiences.

    Caley Doran is a passionate hike leader, educator, and storyteller with a deep commitment to reconnecting people with the land through Indigenous knowledge and perspectives.  Caley weaves together ecological understanding , Anishinaabe history, and personal reflection to guide meaningful outdoor experiences.
