Description

We will carpool to the start of the hike on the northwest side of Wiarton.  The hike starts with a spectacular, rugged section of large boulders and crevices leading into a forest and then on to a beaver pond.  The trail winds along a ridge as we return to the parking area.  Children will enjoy clambering on the rocks and finding the figurines that others have placed along the trail.  Good footwear is needed and walking poles may be helpful.  Please register each family member individually.  If you are unable to register, please call or text the hike leader at 647-918-4180.
