Description
Come join us for a wonderful and relaxing outing to Presqu'ile Provincial Park, located in Brighton, Ontario. We will hike the best trail of the Park, visiting paths along the shorelines, woodlands and meadows. We will also stop at the second oldest operating lighthouse in Ontario. We will eat lunch in park and then take the marsh boardwalk trail accessing the largest protected marsh on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Early afternoon we will leave the Park to go visit Old Mill Alpacas, a nearby Alpca farm where you will have the opportunity to take turns walking Alpacas, spend time with them to feed them apples, learn about their habits and watch the "running of the Alpacas" as they go for dinner. We have negotiated a special rate for this experience ($30, tax included) which must be paid to Lisa in advance to join the bus. Please e-transfer $30 to lisa.ruth@rogers.com per person attending promptly after you register for this hike on the site. If time permits, we will also stop at the Big Apple before we head back to Toronto. Total hiking around 8-9km but it will be an amazing day.
Reminder to our non-members: You are most welcome to join this hike but you must remember to sign up with the Bruce Trail using this signup process in addition to e-transferring payment for the Alpaca tour as you have to be formally registered (and pay the Bruce Trail bus fees) in advance to get on the bus.
