Description
Enjoy an outing during the winter break. This hike is suitable for families, and new hikers or individuals looking for a more leisurely pace. This hike will generally follow the main trail from the GSCA to Inglis Falls and back. Map 32.
On Discovery Hikes, we see what we can find along the way. Topics may include geology, history, or flora and fauna depending on interest. Participants can feel free to point things out or ask questions as we explore along the trail. We'll check out how this stretch of trail differs now as compared to other seasons.
This trail generally has enough use that, unless there is notable snowfall in the preceding 24 hours, I don't anticipate the need for snowshoes. Should you want to try out snowshoes or hiking poles, the Owen Sound library has some available to borrow. There are some uphill portions along this hike (we'll take our time), and there may be some slippery or mucky patches depending on conditions. Suitable winter footwear is a must. Unfortunately dogs can not attend these guided hikes.
Bring a snack, and look forward to checking out the Sydenham River Valley in winter!
Carpooling may be available, upon request.
