Description

2SLGBTQ+ folx and allies are invited to join this lovely family friendly Fall hike. We will experience the beauty of Fall as Nature prepares for winter’s rest. We’ll gather at the Bruce Peninsula National Park Visitor Centre and shuttle to Little Cove, where a Park Interpreter will share their knowledge about this unique ecosystem and amazing fossil finds along the rugged shoreline.

For those seeking a longer adventure, a PBTC Hike Leader will guide you  on a 7 km hike back to the Visitor Centre. This will be a moderate to brisk hike and requires stamina and good balance. Along the hike, we will catch glimpses of beautiful Georgian Bay, Flower Pot Island and Bear's Rump Island in the distance. After the hike, we’ll all  come together for potluck snacks,social connections and still have time to explore the Visitor Centre.

This experience will last approximately 3 1/2 hours. No parking fee is required at Little Cove, but standard Bruce Peninsula National Park admission and parking fees apply.

Weather can be unpredictable at this time of year. Wear layers, hat, sturdy footwear with good tread and closed toes.

Bring a back pack for snacks and lunch, water bottle, blanket for sitting, hiking poles and binoculars (optional).

Porta-potties are available at Little Cove parking lot and flush toilets are available at the Bruce Peninsula National Park Visitor’s Centre.
