Description

This is an End-to-End hike series to complete the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail in 6 hikes.  Join for all or as many hikes as desired.

This third hike of the series starting at Decew House will take us around Lake Moodie, past Decew Falls and through Short Hills Provincial Park.

Weather conditions in the fall can be changeable, so it’s best to dress in layers and come prepared for varying conditions throughout the day.  Insects, particularly ticks, are still active in the fall months, so take appropriate precautions to avoid them including using repellant and wearing clothing that covers the legs and arms.  Hiking boots are required and hiking poles are recommended.

Bring plenty of fluids, including electrolytes, and a snack.

Since this is a group hike, please consider your fitness level before registering.  We will be walking at a pace of 3km – 4km per hour and everyone is expected to keep up with the person in front of them for the duration of the hike.

Plan to arrive at the meeting place by 8:15 a.m. as we will start the car shuffle to the hike starting point at 8:30 a.m. sharp.  Further details will be provided to registered hikers a few days prior to the hike.
