Description
Hi everyone! Hike with me at Silver Creek Conservation Area!
We will begin by hiking a loop that follows the Irwin Quarry Side Trail and the main Bruce Trail north, climbing the escarpment before descending south along Roberts Side Trail, where we will hopefully spot some wildlife around a small pond. This loop returns to our parked cars, allowing hikers who prefer a shorter hike to drop out here.
Those who would like a longer hike can continue south with me along the main Bruce Trail, crossing 27 Sideroad before connecting with the Maureen Smith Side Trail. From there, we will head north on the Bennett Heritage Side Trail, enjoying scenic escarpment terrain and several bridges along the way. After a short stretch of road walking along 27 Sideroad, we will return to our parked cars.
You should bring enough water and food for a 3-4 hour hike that is hiked at a moderate pace of about 4 km/h, comfortable hiking shoes, sun and bug protection, and appropriate clothing for the weather.
Looking forward to seeing you then!
