Description

Join us on Bruce Trail Day for a longer hike in the beautiful natural environment of Niagara.  The theme for Bruce Trail Day is MAKING CONNECTIONS ON THE BRUCE TRAIL   This hike celebrates the unifying and connecting power of nature to bring us all together.

We will take trails around Woodend towards fireman’s Park and then enjoy light food and drinks as part of the Bruce Trail Day celebration.

This hike is suitable for experienced hikers, or anyone who wants to explore the trails at a faster pace. The terrain is a mix of relatively flat trail around the wetlands and some rocky path with some ups and downs on the Bruce Trail.

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, look for the poster that says LONGER HIKE.
