Description
Proceed South on the Main Trail off the parking lot until we reach the unmarked Land Steward access Trail which goes to the back of the Bruce Trail’s 100 acre Cape Chin Woods. Show shoers will proceed through towering beech, popular, maple and cedar forests to Porcupine Hill that marks the back of the property. In and out is approximately 4 km. Bring your own snow shoes and poles or contact Sun Trails in Hepworth for rentals (at your expense). Note: this is not an official Bruce Trail and only accessible in winter. This is an unmarked Trail which will be lead by the Land Steward of Cape Chin Woods, Tim Wilson. The Parking will be free at this time of year. This may be strenuous depending on the amount of snow. There is no option for hiking – this will be a snow shoe. Approximately 2 hours, Bring your lunch and warm up with a hot beverage together afterwards.
