    Not a big fan of dry turkey or your in-laws? Tell them you can’t attend, you have booked a hike for Thanksgiving Sunday and it is too late to cancel!

    This hike explores the Lion’s Valley ravine created by the 16-Mile Creek in Oakville. The hike starts and ends at the Oakville GO Station.

    If you are planning to travel by GO train to Oakville from Union Station, you will be taking the 8:44 am  westbound train. Please use the bathroom while on the GO train as there is little time for it at the Oakville GO station.

    We will all meet at 9:25 am at the Oakville Transit Bus Platform 27 at the Oakville GO Station (click here for station diagram.) From here we will board Bus 13 at 9:40 am and take a short bus ride to the start point of our hike. Oakville Transit buses accept Presto, and if you have paid for the GO train, the fare for the Oakville bus will register as zero. We will walk a 15 km looping trail through the 16-Mile Creek ravine (click here for route map), stopping at the halfway point for lunch (port-a-potties only; bring hand sanitizer and tp) and return to the Oakville GO Station. The trail is stone dust gravel or asphalt and mostly flat except for two steep declines and two long climbs. There is one long set of stairs to descend. The after-hike pub stop is at the Beertown Public House (click here for menu) near the Oakville GO Station.

    You can also drive to the Oakville Station and meet us there. Parking is free on the weekends. You may also choose to park in a parking lot located at the intersection of McCraney St. W. and Old Upper Middle Road approximately 1 km from where we enter the trail system. Please park by 9:30 am and walk to the trail entry to meet us there by 9:50 am.

    On this hike we will be going east from km 55.7 through the Petun Conservation Area. The Conservation Area was named for the indigenous peoples that inhabited the land during the early 1600’s. As the Bruce Trail winds its way through rock faces, cliffs and crevices, one of the highlights of the trail are lookouts from Osler Bluff. The view is especially beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colors. There are also unique fern and moss communities. We will continue through the Pretty River Valley Provincial Park. Here we will take a short climb of a few hundred metres on the John Haigh Side Trail to the highest point along the Bruce Trail at 540m above sea level. We will stop in Creemore on our way back to Toronto for a chance to walk its heritage trail or to visit bakeries, a craft brewery, art galleries, museums and parks.

    ** Hikers are required to bring a mask and wear it on the bus. Masks must fit properly and cover the nose, mouth and chin. For the highest level of protection against Covid-19, respiratory viruses or the flu, KN95 or N95 masks are recommended. **
