ABOUT THE HIKE

  • I finally found the connection between Bob Hunter Memorial park (north part of Rouge Park) and the south part of Rouge Park.
  • So let's hike it!
  • we will cross a stream on the foot bridge in the pic in the map above
  • we will hike up to the top of Beare Hill Park, 50m climb
  • we may do some exploring (aka turning around if I take a wrong turn)
  • vistas will include forest and open field
  • we will be hiking on a mix of dirt, gravel and some paved paths
  • there will be some hills, but nothing serious
  • some of the hike will be beside Little Rouge Creek which flows into Rouge River farther south than we will hike
  • as usual, we will have a lunch break somewhere on the trail
