    Please arrive at the Smokey Hollow parking lot, 80 Mill St. South, by 9:15 a.m. for a 9:30 a.m. start.

    This is the same starting point as our October 13th hike—but we’ll be exploring in the opposite direction. (Ideal for anyone planning to complete their E2E).

    Today’s 14 km in-and-out hike follows the Bruce Trail Main Trail with detours alongKing Side Trail, Ian Reid Side Trail, and if time allows we’ll aim for one of the International Friendship Trails.

    By transit to the starting point. The easiest route is to take HSR transit or GO Bus (depending where you live) to Aldershot GO station, then hop on the 18 Leavitt Loop bus and get off at “Mill St. at Mountain Brow,” a 3-minute walk to the Smokey Hollows parking lot. The bus drivers on this route are accustomed to hikers.

    By car: There is unpaid parking at Smokey Hollow, which can fill up early. If lot is full: There’s street parking on Flanders Drive, about a 15-minute walk to Smokey Hollows. PLEASE allow yourself enough time to sort out your parking so you can arrive at Smokey Hollows parking lot by 9:15 a.m latest.

    Post-hike refreshments: The Royal Coachman in Waterdown has long been hiker-friendly.

    Bring 1 litre of water and lunch. (Since it’s November, a thermos of something hot wouldn’t go amiss. Hiking boots or sturdy footwear are recommended. Dress in layers. Always bring some kind of rain gear. Yup, it’s that time of year 🙂

    Get your complimentary Bruce Trail Rainbow badge and/or sticker at the end of the hike!

    Feel free to reach out to the Hike Leader if you have any questions – “Click here to contact Hike Leader” on this form.

    This third hike of the series starting at Decew House will take us around Lake Moodie, past Decew Falls and through Short Hills Provincial Park.

    Weather conditions in the fall can be changeable, so it’s best to dress in layers and come prepared for varying conditions throughout the day.  Insects, particularly ticks, are still active in the fall months, so take appropriate precautions to avoid them including using repellant and wearing clothing that covers the legs and arms.  Hiking boots are required and hiking poles are recommended.

    Bring plenty of fluids, including electrolytes, and a snack.

    Since this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering.  We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and everyone is expected to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.

    Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 8:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 8:30 a.m. sharp.  Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
