Description

Earn the new E2E badge by completing the Niagara Section of the Bruce Trail in 5 hikes.    This series will run each Tuesday morning for 5 consecutive weeks.  If you are unable to attend all the hikes you can keep a log and complete the missed hikes at another time.  You will still be able to earn the badge once all the sections are complete.  Badges will be available for purchase at the end of the 5th hike. $10 for members, $15 for non members.

This is a carpool hike.  Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can arrange carpooling.  Driving is voluntary but we encourage all hikers to take their turn to help out.  Bring water and a snack.  The hikes go rain or shine. Poles, weather appropriate clothing, sturdy hiking shoes and bug spray are recommended.

We will carpool to Louth Conservation and hike back to the cars at Quarry Rd.

Pace: Medium
Terrain: Easy
Distance: 6-7km

Description

Each Friday we will explore different neighbourhoods, trails and parkland throughout Historic Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Moderate pace with some weeks entirely on sidewalks and roads while others may include a mix of trails and paved pathways. 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.

Plan to stay for conversation and a warm cup of coffee or tea at Sweets & Swirls, Community Centre, Niagara Stone Road, NOTL
