Itinerary:

From "Hiking Ontario's Heartlands" (Shirley Teasdale) pg 67

A couple of side trails and a stretch of the Main part of the Bruce Trail provide an opportunity for a loop hike in a very pretty part of the Niagara Escarpment. Much of the trail follows Silver Creek, a tributary of the Credit River. Part of it is decidedly civilized as it follows the wide gravel paths of the Bennet Heritage Side Trail through Scotsdale Fame. At the other extreme is the trek over the escarpment area south of hte 8th Line where you will find yourself literally striding from boulder to boulder on the rocky path. It is a good idea to wear boots.

1 to 2 litres of water ,snack and lunch.
