This hike is very scenic with hills up the escarpment along the way. We cross the Laura Secord Bridge and continue to Morningstar Mill. If volunteers are there, we can see how the mill operates and possibly get a chance to go through the historic house. Then we continue walking a rocky path along Lake Moodie where we end up at Decew House. From there we walk over to the First Nations Peace Monument returning by the same trails back to Rotary Park.

Great way to build up endurance for longer more strenuous hikes.
Prepare for cooler windy conditions on open parkland and along Lake Ontario and Niagara River trails.

From there we will hike east on the Bruce Trail towards Quarry road, and then loop back to Ashby park.
The pace of the hike will be moderate. The terrain is mixed with some paved paths, street and sidewalk, as well as the trail. There are some rocky sections of the trail.
Meet at 5:15 by the playground in the park to depart at 5:30. Limited street parking available next to the park, or walk if you live nearby! The full loop should take around 1.5 hours (max 2 hours) depending on our collective pace.
