Description
From the roadside parking at Lavender Cemetery, we will hike north to the Noisy River Provincial Nature Reserve and return. We will hike through the small village of Lavender which is the division line between the Dufferin Hi-Lands and Blue Mountains Bruce Trail sections. We then enter the Nature Reserve and follow the trail as it wanders in and out of woods and pasture to the escarpment edge and scenic lookout. The trail continues through mature forest to County Rd. 9 where we will turn around and return to the parking area.
Bring water, snacks, lunch, poles if desired, sunscreen, insect repellent.
Pub stop in Creemore post hike.
