Itinerary:

A leisurely hike in a very scenic part of the Bruce Trail running through mature woods along Black Creek and leading to the Limehouse Conservation Area. The Trail passes a number of rock fissures before dropping through the “Hole-In-The-Wall” on two ladders. Then it follows an abandoned rail bed of the Toronto Suburban Radial Railway.

A century ago, this was a major industrial complex, producing lime for the early settlers of Ontario . Visible from the Trail are a number of lime kilns, a powder house and a quarry. The kilns are currently being restored by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority. After the hike we will gather for a picnic; please bring a dish to share.
