Hike Details
Route: This hike starts at the parking lot at Beamer Memorial Conservation Area. We will hike along the Bruce Trail towards Beamer Falls and loop back to the parking lot. There is a small parking lot and road parking available if needed. Beamer Conservation also has a washroom!
Link on Google maps to the parking lot/meeting spot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3RSvq2uCPHapH7m2A
Terrain: Beamer has a fairly even path in a mostly forested setting with some rocks and roots to navigate. The conservation area is on top of the escarpment and we will be walking the path near the edge with some gorgeous views!
We will loop around the conservation area and cross the bridge to see the falls closer up. We will adjust the pace to the group but be prepared for some rocky or uneven footing and possible mud. We recommend using hiking poles. Wearing good hiking shoes is a must. Carry water, wear a hat and insect repellent - mosquito season is underway. We will take a break at the falls - bring a snack or maybe some to share!
The hike goes ahead rain or shine unless there are dangerous weather conditions - the hike leader will contact you by email if anything changes.
***Please arrive by 5:45 to check in with the hike leaders for departure right at 6pm.
