    Discover the history of the 19th Century Quarry Pioneers and the Witch of Cave Springs

    The meeting place is on Quarry Rd in Beamsville just next to the Bruce Trail.  Google maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Nr4gM9muiSt8DiUT8

    The path to Cave Springs is quite rocky and has some hills.  We recommend using hiking poles and wearing good hiking shoes. Carry water and dress for changeable weather.

    The hike includes some local lore, but there’s a lot more than we can cover while hiking!
