Itinerary:

We are doing a second Fall visit to Crawford. This time we should have great fall colours!!!!!!!

Come and hike at Crawford Lake Conservation area. We will be doing the Nassagaweya Trail, arriving to Rattlesnake Point and then taking it back to Crawford Lake

A general map of Crawford Lakes trails is available (click here)

Also, Toronto Hiking has a great map (click here)

We will be hiking at average of 4 km per hour. (This is NOT a SLOW hike). We will do pictures break depending on the colours and then we will hike a little bit faster to compensate the time. This is part of the Bruce Trail and we are going to find some rocky parts and nice hills. We WILL not take the "Canyon By-pass" (so it is expected to be harder)

We will stop for lunch near Ratle Snake around 1:00pm (have a good breakfast and/or bring extra snacks).

Come and have a lot of fun!!!!

We will try to finish by 4 pm, and we will be back at Downsview around 5:15pm approximately. There will not be clock-pressure in this event, so if you need to be back to Toronto, please sign-up at your own risk, since no guarantee could be provide (traffic, weather, etc.) and we will be in a relaxed no-clock-pressure trip.
