Description
We will drive to the end of the 6th Line at km 13.7 (turn off 119).
The Trail passes through a hardwood bush and abandoned farm fields to enter a pretty wooded area.
It then winds along the edge of a ravine, carved out by a small stream that is the headwaters of Indian Brook.
The bubbling brook drops over dolostone ledges as it rushes on to Georgian Bay. The Trail passes a small flowerpot formation created by wave action along the shore of an ancient glacial lake. The land crossed by this loop trail was one of the earliest purchases in the 1980s under the Bruce Trail’s Land Acquisition Program. Margaret Paull was one of those early Bruce Trail volunteers who made such a dream possible.
Bring a snack and water.
