Description

We will  hike south from East Gwillimbury GO Station to Fairy Lake and  historic Main Street in Newmarket. We will pass the remains of a swing railway bridge, the remains of an abandoned canal, and a diverse landscape. The walking is easy south to Fairy Lake where we loop around the lake with a scenic boardwalk trail on the east side and paved path leading into the historic downtown of Newmarket. We'll stop in the historic downtown for refreshments at the Old Flame Brewery or alternative establishments and walk up Main Street to get the 2:50 train back towards Toronto's Union Station.

We will take advantage of the GO Transit $10 Day Weekend Pass available only on smartphones. Those without a smart phone may purchase the pass from the Hike Leader at Union Station the morning of the hike. Those wishing to travel together will meet at Union Station to take the GO Train towards Barrie departing at 8:53 AM.
