Description
This is expected to be a snowshoe hike, with views of a pond and the streams that flow into Telfer Creek. We also will be walking just below the escarpment along the dolostone and shale bedrock cliffs and observing the Polish Tree carving from 1942 by a soldier serving in the Polish Regiment training group during World War 2.
From Highway 26 east from Owen Sound, turn north on Concession 8 North, at the top of the hill. This is the next road after Clearview Crescent subdivision. About 1 km after the turn there is a small parking lot on the left, but unmaintained in winter. Please park on the roadside on the west side of the road before the bend.
Poles, snacks and water recommended. If we don't have enough snow for snowshoeing, boot icers are recommended.
