Description
We will hike the main trail north and explore the Todd Bardes, Ridge, and the new Ancient Maple Side Trails, then back to Limehouse. Finishing with a loop in the Conservation area passing the remains of the a restored powder magazine, a lime kiln, and remains of an old mill.
Expect the trail to be wet with the spring melt.
Plan is for a couple of stops for hydration and clothing adjustments and a shorter snack break.
Dress in layers, hiking boots required, poles recommended. Keep the icers handy as there could still be snow on the trails depending on the weather over the next few weeks.
Following the hike anyone interested can head to the St. George Pub on the corner of Main and Guelph in Georgetown for a refreshment and bite to eat.
