Description
Come and join me for a family-friendly hike in honour of Bruce Trail Day! We will use the Limehouse Side Trail, the Black Creek Side Trail, and the main trail to make a lovely 4 km loop within Limehouse Conservation Area. Approximately halfway through our hike we will leave the trail in order to enjoy refreshments and visit displays put on by the Toronto Bruce Trail Club at Limehouse Memorial Hall (and so we can have a washroom break, if needed) before returning to the trail to complete our loop. There will be a scavenger hunt to complete while hiking, and individuals who would like to work on their “Biodiversity Naturalist Badge” (https://torontobrucetrailclub.org/the-trail/badges) are encouraged to do so during this hike - I love spotting interesting flora, fauna, and fungi whenever I’m on the Bruce Trail so I would be happy to help hikers in their quest for this badge.
Children under 13 years of age are encouraged to join their parents/guardians on this hike so they can fulfill the requirements for the Toronto Bruce Trail Club's Youth Badge (https://torontobrucetrailclub.org/the-trail/badges) - all family members who are planning on joining us should register for the hike, including children. You should bring enough water and food for a 2-hour hike, comfortable footwear with good traction, appropriate clothing for the weather, and a big smile because we’re going to have a great time!
Everyone is welcome - I hope to see you there!
