Description
The Walk In Nature Series (WINS) consists of short loop hikes in the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail that combine nature appreciation with fitness in a safe and welcoming group environment led by an experienced hike leader. Consider these hikes to be appointments with yourself in nature that promote health and fitness.
This northbound linear hike from Blantyre, km 0.0 of the Sydenham section, along the gently-sloped escarpment and through the scenic Rocklyn Creek Management Area leads us to our preplaced shuttle vehicle(s) at the St. Vincent-Sydenham townline. From there, hikers enjoy a 10 minute shuttle ride back to their vehicles. Some good news about this hike, that more or less follows down Rocklyn Creek, is that gravity is on our side!
Arrive 15 min early, dress in layers with good footwear. Hiking poles may be helpful. Bring water and a snack. See you there!
