🌕Full Moon Hike Series: Part 1 of 7 🌕  Cape Chin - Hike & History

Join us for a captivating evening hike through MapleCross Nature Reserve  at Cape Chin!

We'll traverse a scenic 3 km flat trail that meanders through beautiful forest and meadow areas, culminating at a stunning architecturally-designed home on the estate (Fox House). This is the perfect spot to take a break and soak in the breathtaking views of Georgian Bay—especially under the glow of the full moon!  We will also be accompanied by Brenda Stewart, the PBTC's archivist, will share the history of the area - early settlers, lumber industry, and the construction of the Fox House estate.  Bring something to sit on, a snack, water or hot beverage.
