Description
We will drive to Kilgorie in the Dufferin Hi-Land section and park the cars at km 34.9 on Centre Road. From here, we will hike a figure eight loop utilizing the white blazed trail, the new Pine River Valley Side Trail and the Kilgorie Side Trail. This hike boasts a wonderful view from the Bell Tower Side Trail, ruins of an old powerhouse, the stunning Pine River, lake views, ponds, and more! The ruins of the old powerhouse along the Pine River are almost all that remain of the Dufferin Light and Power Company. Nearby is the old flume that brought water from a dam, which was constructed in 1909 and was the largest of its kind in Ontario. The plant provided power until 1923. Bring a snack or lunch and water.
