Description
On Saturday November 28th, join us in hiking down the Halfway Log Dump Side Trail to experience the sun rising over the Bay from the rocky shoreline at Halfway Log Dump.
This hike is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, breathe in the fresh morning air, and experience the landscape in a completely different light. Whether you’re a dedicated sunrise chaser, a photography enthusiast, or simply someone who loves a good adventure, this is a beautiful way to start the day.
The Sunshine Series offers opportunities to experience both the rising and setting sun from the Bruce Trail in a safe and welcoming environment. On this morning adventure, we’ll take our time to enjoy the changing light, take photographs, and simply savour the experience of being outdoors as night transitions into morning. This peaceful sunrise hike is the perfect way to connect with nature, capture some incredible photos, and start the day with fresh air and inspiration. Whether you’re a morning person or just love a good adventure, come experience the magic of dawn from one of the best vantage points on the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula!
Don’t forget to bring a headlamp or flashlight (preferably with a red light setting) as we begin our adventure in the pre-dawn quiet. Join us and discover how a sunrise hike can nourish your mind, body, and spirit - setting the tone for a brighter, more balanced day.
This hike is approximately 2 kms in length. Expect to be on the trail and admiring the views for ~2 hours. Pace will be leisurely with ample time to enjoy the sunrise, take some photographs, and nourish yourself!
Please note: we will be meeting at Highway 6 and Dyers Bay Road and carpooling to the trailhead.
How to prepare:
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Bring lots of water and a snack (breakfast and/or coffee are recommended if that’s your thing!)
- Bring a headlamp or flashlight (preferably with a red light setting)
- Dress for weather conditions, including waterproof footwear

In the event of inclement weather, the hike will be held on Sunday, November 29th. If Emmett Lake Road is closed for the winter, the hike location will be changed to the Burnt Point Loop (~5 kms) in Bruce Peninsula National Park. Please watch your emails for a confirmation the week of the hike!
