Description
We will begin our hike at km 19.1 on the 12th Sideroad in the Beaver Valley section. Hiking south through a deciduous woodlot we arrive at a small piece of history. The Old Mail Road was a pioneer route into this area and was in use from the 1830s until the 1850s. Small parts of it still exist including a small section in this woodlot. The trail continues south to reach Grey Rd 19 and then travels through a BTC property to reach Grey Rd 2. Here, we will retrace our steps back to the cars. Bring a snack or lunch and water.
