Description
This year’s theme will be “Bruce Trail for All.” This theme centres on our commitment to welcoming diverse communities and fostering inclusivity and belonging among all who explore our trail system. Everyone is welcome on the Bruce Trail; we invite nature lovers, hikers of all levels, and anyone wanting to venture onto the Trail for the first time or experienced hikers to join us on Bruce Trail Day, Sunday, October 1, 2023.
The BMBTC is offering two hikes on Bruce Trail Day that will start at 10:00 AM and end at approximately 12:00PM. We will explore the Nottawasaga Bluffs portion of our section. Choose Hike #1 - a 3-5km hike through the Bluffs to the Lookout, once here learn about the geology and some history of the Blue Mountains section of trail then loop back around on the white blazed trail to your car. This hike is a family oriented hike and is great for beginner hikers and young hikers.
Or choose Hike #2 - a 7km trek through the Bluffs, climb through the Keyhole and carry on along the Betty Carter Side Trail, eventually heading back to your car.
Want directions, meet behind Tim Hortons on First Street in Collingwood at 8:45am. Otherwise everyone can meet at the Nottawasaga Bluffs trailhead (8861 Sideroad 15 & 16 Nottawasaga access by taking Mill Town Rd, Singhampton) for 9:45am.
Check out the BMBTC table with literature regarding the BTC before or after your hike. We are there to answer any questions you may have about our club and the goals of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Help celebrate all the wonderful things the Bruce Trail Conservancy does. We encourage you to think about joining the Bruce Trail Conservancy or to make a donation and support their mission goal in preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.
