Description
In the midst of suburbia lies a quiet, forested valley.
Most of the route is flat, shaded, and on a packed gravel path. At 4.5 km we ascend one flight of stairs to the top of the valley (66 steps total). A short section in the north west - near 4th Line, immediately south of Dundas Street bridge - is signed as closed, but remains walkable.
This is a loop hike, and we will return to the parking lot where we meet up. Portable toilets are available at the start/end (Sixteen Hollow Park) and 3 km mark (Lions Valley Park).
Please pack one litre of water, a lunch or snacks, a hat and sun screen.
