Description

We will park on 5 Sideroad in the Caledon Hills section and begin hiking north from km 45.5. We will hike along the white blazed trail to km 49.0 at Airport Rd. Here we will turn around and return to the cars following the white blazed trail, Hockleycrest Side Trail,
and Darcy’s Side Trail. Along the way, we will pass through a pine plantation, hardwood bush, follow a bush road, cross ridges and skirt the edges of wet areas. The trail also traverses an area that was devastated by a tornado in May of 1985 so keep your eyes peeled for evidence of the event. Bring a snack or lunch and water.
