Description

This gorgeous loop hike passes through a wonderland of enormous rocks left from a time when the area was the shoreline of an ancient glacial lake. It is not located off of the main Bruce Trail but is actually located on the other side of Hwy 6 just on the outskirts of Wiarton ( a short drive from the meeting point). The hiking is short in distance but is rugged and requires sturdy footwear and an adventurous spirit. We have the opportunity to visit Rural Rootz, a lovely nature reserve and craft shop following the hike.
