Terrain: Flat, Level 1 (Easy – mostly on flat, well maintained trails with hard-packed surface)
Distance (km): 10-11 km Description
Join me for a pleasant Spring Flowers Hike taking in the Bloodroot, and other Spring ephemerals. Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) grows in moist to dry woods and thickets, often on floodplains and near shores or streams. It is one of the earliest spring flowers and the white blooms last barely a week. The red juice from the underground stem was used by Native Americans as a dye for baskets, clothing, and war paint, as well as for insect repellent. The generic name, from the Latin sanguinarius, means “bleeding”. We will visit Terry Wilson and “Rosemary’s Garden” but this event will not include a Meadowvale Village Tour. The focus will be on hiking and spotting ephemerals. The hike will take us to Churchville in Brampton and we will return to Meadowvale by way of Levi Creek Valley, a tributary of the Credit River.

Please dress for the weather and bring 2 L of water and some snacks/light lunch. We will meet at the start of the trail (near the large trail map) at 4th Ave and Hwy 10 intersection. You can park anywhere at the Zehrs Orangeville, Winners or Mark’s parking lot which is just across Hwy 10.

The entrance to the trail from the 4th Ave and Hwy 10 is accessible for hikers. We can park as I suggested near Zehrs and meet as planned at the start of the trail near the map; however, we cannot hike in a loop but would have to retrace our route back.Please see the notice for your info: https://cvc.ca/park-advisories/?filter_park=island-lake
