This is a nice moderate hike that involves some hills, uneven terrain and probably some muddy areas.

We'll aim to walk at a pace of about 4.0-4.5 km/h.

If you cannot walk the entire distance, please do not sign up for this hike.

We'll start at Rattlesnake Point Conservation area and follow the Nassagaweya Canyon Trail (7.2 km - about 2 to 2.5 hours) to Crawford Lake Conservation Area. We'll take a lunch break, and have a chance to see the reconstructed 15th century Iroquoian village at Crawford Lake. Then we'll hike back to our starting point. You can find a map and more information on the area and the trail here.

Fees: There is a fee of $6.50 per person to use the park facilities (we will pay individually when we get there).
