Description
We will park at the intersection of the 2nd Line and the 6th Side Road.
The hike will go south on the John Haigh Side Trail, to join the white blazed trail at km 49.1.
We will continue north on the white blazed trail to km 51.1, then back to our cars.
Bring a light lunch and water.
Hike with me on the Path of the Petun and learn about a great battle that was fought between the Iroquois and the
Petun at the Petun Village of Etharita, also known as the "St. Jean".
As we hike along the Escarpment ridge, we will use our imaginations to see the Battle Ground and
what this beautiful area was like in the mid 1600's, when the County of Simcoe belonged to the colony of New France.
