Location (Google Maps): Meet at Roadside Parking on 4th Concession S., where the Bighead River crosses the road. If you are coming from Owen Sound, drive East on Grey Rd 18. Turn south at the Bognor Marsh parking lot and follow Concession 4 South for about 4.5 km to the parking spot. This is a one way hike, but I will drop a car at the end before we start, so there won't be a car shuttle. Please arrive at the hike start at 8:45 so we can start hiking promptly at 9.

Description
We start in the Bighead River Valley and follow the lowlands west until the trail starts to climb. There is one very steep hill which is 500 m long, and it provides a fun but challenging climb. The rest of the trail travels along the top of the escarpment with some scenic views to the south. We finish the hike with a short loop in the Massie Hills Forest.
