Come join us for a 10K urban hike on Saturday Oct. 19 starting in Georgetown and learn about the area’s unique history in Glen Williams. Those leaving from Toronto can hop on the “Kitchener Line” Go Train at Union Station (at 9:51 am) or Bloor Go Station (at 10:01 a.m.). or Weston Go Station (10:07 a.m.) to arrive in Georgetown Go Train Station at 11:19 am (you’ll transfer to bus at Mt Pleasant Station in Brampton – a 20 minute stopover – for the rest of your journey). The return bus/train from Georgetown leaves at 3:00p.m. There is a 20-minute stopover at Mount Pleasant Station on the return trip. You’ll be back at Union Station at 4:36 p.m.If you wish, you can also drive to the Georgetown Go Station (north parking lot) for the hike. GPS: 43.656030, -79.919159.
The 2.5 hour hike will take us to the ruins of the historic Barber Mill (first site of hydro power in Ontario), then we will follow along the Credit Valley Footpath to the quaint town of Glen Wiliams (established 1825), with a chance to see artisan workshops and purchase sweets at Kits Kitchen or tea at the Main Street Market. After viewing some historic homes in the village, we will make our way back to Georgetown, following an abandoned rail line that takes us to the Georgetown Train Station, built in 1885. We’ll wander past more historic homes and finish (depending on timing) with a stop at Furnace Room craft brewery (across from the Station), or the Norval Pancake Factory nearby.
This is a Level 1 (easy) hike with a easy/moderate pace, suitable for “fit” beginners. There are some hills and depending on the weather, there could be wet areas along the Credit River footpath. Dress for the time of year, bring hiking boots, poles if you wish, water, sunscreen and lunch/snacks. Go Transit weekend day passes are available online for $10.
