Description
Roadside parking at the Lavender cemetery, 550 m east of Lavender Hill Rd. We will hike north to the Noisy River Provincial Nature Reserve, and return. We will hike through the small town of Lavender. This marks the end of the Dufferin Hi-Lands Section and the beginning of Blue Mountains Section. We then enter the nature reserve. The trail wanders in and out of woods and pasture land 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 and snacks; dress for the weather; poles recommended. Pub stop in Creemore after the hike.
