Description
This hike is a there-and-back walk. We begin on the edge of the Beaver Valley and then head towards a beaver pond. A walk along the edge of fields takes us into a wood lot, then to the Young Wetland. Birds are often sighted on the water. From there, we stroll the rest of the BTC-managed Young property to Sideroad 19, seeing fields regenerating towards a natural state. We walk back to the parking area, where we can enjoy a panoramic view into the Beaver Valley.
Guidelines
- Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the hike.
- Wear sturdy footwear and appropriate attire for the weather and the terrain.
Hiking poles are a good idea in any season, especially if the terrain is rocky or slippery. In winter, snowshoes or icers/crampons are needed when conditions dictate.
Wearing appropriate clothing and footwear prevents injuries and shows consideration for a safe and positive group hiking experience. - Always carry I.D. and your health card.
- Bring sufficient water and snacks (or lunch if indicated). A minimum of 1L of water is recommended on all hikes, and 3L is recommended for long, challenging hikes in the heat of the summer.
- Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (for spring and summer hikes).
- Bring your own first aid kit.
- Please leave dogs at home.
