This hike was cancelled due to the snow storm on March 8 and as promised, those who were signed up for the March 8 hike got a chance to sign up in advance PLEASE NOTE Proper hiking shoes or boots and appropriate clothing is a REQUIREMENT for this hike. There are a few hilly sections that will require boots with a good grippy soul. There may be mud and/or ice still on the trail. Running shoes, boots with heels and "urban style" boots are a safety hazard, and you may not be allowed on the hike if you are not attired properly

This is a relatively easy hike and an opportunity to take in some unusual Ontario Terrain. I don't know how the weather will be at this time of year- it will probably be muddy and there could still be ice and snow on the trail. Since part of tthe trail is along the Caledon Trailway it will be flat and easy to traverse.

This is a great hike for first timers, or for those of you that enjoy a nice easy pace on your first trip out of the season. Experienced hikers are welcome to come along if they want to "take it easy". Dogs and children are welcome.
