Category: General Hike
Location (Google Maps): For our first hike we will meet at Kingsbridge Park in Chippewa (located just upstream from the Falls) and will then carpool to the Butler's Barrack's parking lot on John Street East in NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE where we will begin hiking at 8:30. All meet times for this series of hikes will be 8:00AM because of the distances involved. We will be doing the circle in a clockwise progression.
Hike Leader(s): Bryon Robertson Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Brisk - 4 to 5 km/hr
Terrain: Easy - Mostly flat and usually good footing
Distance: 28.5km.
Description
This series of five hikes is geared toward the experienced hiker capable of maintaining a sustained 3.5 km./hr to 5.0 km./hr. pace for the day. The combined hike distances of 144 km. make this the longest hike offered by the Niagara Section and the equivalent of doing a sectional E2E for many of the other sections. It is in fact the longest side trail in the entire Bruce Trail Conservancy. Although generally flat and almost entirely paved the speeds and distances involved (between 26 and 34 km. ) make this a difficult series. Hikers will be expected to wear proper hiking boots and clothing, because of changing weather conditions and be carrying sufficient water and food for a full day of hiking.

Distance: 28.5 km.
Description
This series of hikes is geared toward the experienced hiker capable of maintaining a steady 3.5 km./hr. to 5.0 km./ hr. pace over relatively easy terrain but for extended distances. The hikes are therefore somewhat similar to sectional E2Es and good experience for those considering these hikes for next year, or hikers just wanting to stay in shape before the holidays. Despite being mainly over paved trail, hikers are expected to wear proper hiking clothes and hiking boots, due to changeable and probable wet weather conditions. Hikers are also expected to carry sufficient water and food supplies for personal use, over an entire day of hiking, and a brief on trail lunch stop has been allowed for. Badges will be available for purchase by successful hikers upon completion of the series in N-O-T-L ($10.00).

Pace: Brisk - 4 to 5 km/hr
Terrain: Easy - Mostly flat and usually good footing
Distance: 34 km+/-
Description
This series of hikes is geared toward the experienced hiker capable of maintaining a steady 3.5 km./hr. to 5.0 km./ hr. pace over relatively easy terrain but for extended distances. The hikes are therefore somewhat similar to sectional E2Es and good experience for those considering these hikes for next year, or hikers just wanting to stay in shape before the holidays. Despite being mainly over paved trail, hikers are expected to wear proper hiking clothes and hiking boots, due to changeable and probable wet weather conditions. Hikers are also expected to carry sufficient water and food supplies for personal use, over an entire day of hiking, and a brief on trail lunch stop has been allowed for. Badges will be available for purchase by successful hikers upon completion of the series in N-O-T-L ($10.00).

Hike Leader(s): Bryon Robertson Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Brisk - 4 to 5 km/hr
Terrain: Easy - Mostly flat and usually good footing
Distance: 26 km. +/-
Description
This series of hikes is geared toward the experienced hiker capable of maintaining a steady 3.5 km./hr. to 5.0 km./ hr. pace over relatively easy terrain but for extended distances. The hikes are therefore somewhat similar to sectional E2Es and good experience for those considering these hikes for next year, or hikers just wanting to stay in shape before the holidays. Despite being mainly over paved trail, hikers are expected to wear proper hiking clothes and hiking boots, due to changeable and probable wet weather conditions. Hikers are also expected to carry sufficient water and food supplies for personal use, over an entire day of hiking, and a brief on trail lunch stop has been allowed for. Badges will be available for purchase by successful hikers upon completion of the series in N-O-T-L ($10.00).
