Description
We will hike the Bennett Heritage Trail, Main Trail, Maureen Smith and Irwin Quarry Side Trails from Scotsdale Farm to Silver Creek Conservation Area and back. The hike will start on the farm lane heading past the heritage buildings and barn at Scotsdale Farm. Most of the hike will be in the forest, at times following the edge of the escarpment with a few ups and downs and rocky sections.
There will be stops for water breaks along the way and a longer snack / lunch break later in the hike. Bring plenty of water, lunch, sunscreen, and bug repellent. Hiking boots required, poles recommended. Please dress appropriately for weather conditions.
