We will meet in Lowville Park at 9:30 AM. The park is located behind the Lowville Bistro on Guelph Line. The park entrance is gated but the arm will rise as you approach the gate. There are no parking fees.

From the park we will cross Guelph Line and enter the park through a local trail. We will loop hike the River and Ruin, Squire Cleaver, and Dan Welsh Side Trails, then hike back to Lowville Park. Across the road we will find the unique Walt Rickli Art and Sculpture Garden. We will stroll through the garden. For those who may be interested, a few kms north on Guelph Line is the Trail Eatery, good basic food, enjoyed by hikers, post hike.
