Description
Description
Join us for a fun day exploring Warsaw Caves Conservation Area. We will hike about 14 km (dropout after 9 km) at a 4 km/hr pace through forests, across open limestone plains, past potholes and kettles, and stop to enjoy the lookout over the Indian River valley. If you choose to dropout after 9km then you will have time to go spelunking (caving) and discover the park's seven caves, or relax on the beach. Après hike stop in Peterborough (2 hours) where you can visit the Canadian Canoe Museum at it's beautiful new location on Little Lake, or walk to the historic Peterborough Lift Lock (about 1 hour return), or enjoy a refreshment (craft beer, ice cream, or specialty coffee) at the Silver Bean Café, or relax on the beach in Beavermead Park. Washrooms and water bottle filling stations in the museum and the park. Museum admission for groups of 10 or more is: $18 adults, $16 seniors, and $13 youth (plus tax). Children are free.
Pack lunch, snacks, enough water for the hike (about 2 litres), sun and rain protection. If you plan to go spelunking, bring a headlight.
Bus will depart from 10 York Mills Rd at 7:30 AM. We hope to be back in the city around 7 PM.
