Description

The Buck Moon hike is the eighth full moon of 2026. This is the second urban Oakville hike and this time we'll be walking through DT Oakville to the lake, across Sixteen Mile Creek, down toward Tannery Park, we'll stop at the Tannery Hill Observation Deck and then down along the lake towards Waterworks Park and the Indigenous gathering circle. We'll then head back along the lake, through the marina and back over the bridge to our cars.

The views of the lake and Moon should be excellent if we et a clear night. We'll also try to hit as many of the Oakville Stairs as we can, not quite the Hamilton Stomp:)

We’ll meet at Oakville Parking Lot 11B along the river. Please plan to arrive by 8:45 pm so we can get everyone registered and head out at 9:15 pm.

Be sure to dress for the weather, bring 1.5 L of water, bug spray and poles if you use them. Also headlamp or flashlight. You can leave them off and use them when needed.
