Description
Hike Peninsula in 8 hikes this summer and earn the New Black Bear Fundraising Badge!! June 1-5 and July 27-29, 2026. Separate registrations of June 1-5 and July 27-29. We will meet at 12 noon at Bluewater Park in Wiarton and shuttle to Crawford Drive Side Trail and hike back to Bluewater Park. June 2-5, we will be hiking the top part of the Peninsula. We will meet each morning at 7:30am and shuttle to the trail head. Shuttling at the beginning of the day and one shuttle at end of each day to take morning drivers back to their cars, will be shared among all hikers. These start times allow hikers to travel the morning of the hike and finish mid-afternoon. Any parking fees will be shared equally by all hikers. A full itinerary will be shared with hikers the week before our hikes begin. For those booking accommodation, recommend staying near the top part of the peninsula for June 1-5 and near Wiarton for the July dates.
I expect to have the new Black Bear End to End Fundraising badges for our last hike July 29, to be distributed to those who completed all 8 hikes.
Hikers should bring layered clothing in case of cool, breezy or rainy days. Hikers should have hiking shoes/boots, poles, hat, raingear, sunblock, bug repellant, 2-3 litres of water and snacks/lunch. We will have 2 scheduled breaks each day, except for June1 (1 break) as it is a shorter hike. Anticipate 4 km/hr average pace including breaks, so please be honest with respect to your capability.
