    Join us on Bruce Trail Day for a leisurely hike in the beautiful natural environment of Niagara.  The theme for this year’s Bruce Trail Day is BRUCE TRAIL FOR ALL. This hike celebrates the unifying and connecting power of nature to bring us all together.

    We will walk together on the side trails around the wetlands by Niagara College, and then enjoy light food and drinks as part of the Bruce Trail Day celebration.

    This hike is suitable for beginners and folks who want to explore with a leisurely pace on fairly flat terrain. It’s perfect for those who want to walk, enjoy nature and the company of others!

    This is one of a series of “Welcome Hikes” that invite first time/new hikers to try out the trail, enjoy an organized hike experience and learn more about the Niagara Bruce Trail club.

    We especially welcome folks who are joining via the CANOO App.

    Children are welcome with a guardian.

    Important note: Those hiking for the first time on the Bruce Trail can earn the special “My First Hike” badge by participating in this hike.  You can expect to develop a passion for badges after this!

    In order to be comfortable on the hike, please:

    • wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots
    • comfortable clothing, be prepared for weather changes
    • carry water for drinking

    Advance registration is encouraged, but it is also possible to show up and register on-site.  Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled hike time to check in with the hike leaders. We will meet by the Niagara college greenhouse.
