Hike Details
Route: This hike loops from the parking lot at Sho’aríshon Park (Neutral Nation Legacy Cultural Park) along the Bruce Trail into Ball’s Falls Conservation Area and back.

Terrain: The path goes along the creek and then up a tall, steep set of stairs to get to the conservation area at the top of the escarpment. Once up top the path is fairly even, looping around the conservation area. We will visit the main waterfall and take a break – feel free to bring snacks to share! We will then descend the steps and steep pathway back down.
We will adjust the pace to the group but be prepared for some rocky or uneven footing and climbing up and down. The terrain is not suitable for folks with mobility challenges.
We strongly recommend using hiking poles. Wearing good hiking shoes is a must. Carry water and dress in layers for changeable weather and carry insect repellent.
The hike goes ahead rain or shine unless there are dangerous weather conditions – the hike leader will contact you if anything changes.
***Please arrive by 9:50 to check in with the hike leaders for departure at 10.
