Description
We will hike the Bennett Heritage, and Main Trails on the way out, loop around the Irwin Side Trail in Silver Creek Conservation Area, then back using the Main and Maureen Smith and Trails. 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. To avoid getting chilled, we will take a couple of shorter nutrition breaks along the way, so bring your favorite hiking drink and snacks.
Please dress appropriately for weather conditions. Hiking boots required, poles recommended.
