Itinerary:

So, I'm trying out another brand new hike to a brand new area of the city that I've never really been in before.
The point of this hike is basically to go out to Colonel Samuel Smith Point & back, which I've read is quite nice.

This 11 KM hike will both start and finish at Long Branch GO Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved park paths and sidewalks.

In terms of hills, there don't appear to be any above 25 meters.

I'll stop for a washroom break at Marie Curtis Park, located about 1.5 KM into the hike.
I'm going to attempt to stop at the Power House Recreation Centre 7.5 KM into the hike, but I'm kinda confused about whether or not its open.
There is also a washroom located in Long Branch Station.
