Description

Help us celebrate Bruce Trail Day!

Lenore will introduce you to the natural and cultural wonders found along Ginebek Miikaans – the Snake Trail Boardwalk. This trail winds through mixed forest, to the edges of an active beaver dam and lodge, and along the shoreline of Sydney Bay. During this exploration you will learn about the traditional plants and wildlife that play a pivotal role in the traditional and contemporary lives of the Anishinaabek people. Spend some time at our two lookouts to take in the natural beauty of Wiikwedonse (Sydney Bay) and a beaver pond teeming with life. Sample fresh herbal tea while listening to the Anishinaabe stories that connect related to current geological research.

Weather can be unpredictable at this time of year, dress according to the conditions. Meet at the Cape Croker Park Pavilion. This hike is about 2 hours in duration.

Join us for light refreshments before the hike - anytime after 12 noon. Please help us reduce waste and bring your own reusable mug, bowl and utensils.

Thank you to Cape Croker Park for waiving the parking fee for Bruce Trail Day participants.
