Itinerary:

For a change of pace and scenery, this TOC hike will move away from the Bruce Trail west of the city and try the Oak Ridges Moraine.

From the website; "Nestled in the heart of the provincially significant Oak Ridges Moraine, Long Sault Conservation Area is the largest Area owned and managed by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. Once part of the Agreement Forest program operated by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Long Sault Conservation Area now includes close to 400 hectares of mature forest, plantation, wetland and meadow. The area is considered an important core wildlife area because of the diversity and size of habitats that it contains. This Conservation Area also includes headwater tributaries that are an important part of the Bowmanville/Soper Creek Watershed."

This hike will be a moderately paced hike through hardwood bush, rugged terrain, with some hilly sections. The organizer has not been on these trails before.
