Description

Come and enjoy the Credit River and beautiful tranquil Riverwood Conservancy in the twilight hours as we do a there and back hike along the Culham trail to historic Streetsville, a village founded by Timothy Street in 1824, a town within a city that still retains the charms of a village. Nestled on the banks of the Credit River, Streetsville is home to the largest number of historic buildings in the city of Mississauga. Part of the route will be along an abandoned rail line from the old Barber woolen mill in Barbertown to the outskirts of Streetsville. A 20 minute rest stop in the Village Square with Murphy’s Ice Cream Parlour to tempt us before we make our way back in the waning light. Sunset will be at 7:51 pm. Bring flashlights or use the torch on your cell phones. We will be four days removed from the supermoon so if it is a clear night we will have moonlight to guide us. We will finish on flatter wider trails if need be. Safety is always number one priority.
