Itinerary:

Note this is a SLOWPOKE hike which means that we hike to the pace of the SLOWEST members. You will not be allowed to go ahead and must keep to the pace that is set by the coordinator. The coordinator is recovering from a serious ankle injury and has been immobile for 2 months and before that had a high risk pregnancy with minimal activity. It's going to be a SLOW hike

length: approx. 15 km
elevation: 296 m

This is a nice moderate hike that involves some hills, uneven terrain and probably some muddy areas. Please note that we will hike at a slowish pace so this will be great for those who want to take photos and get in better hiking condition - if you want a faster hike please do not sign up for this event!

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 $5.50 per person to use the park facilities (pay when we get there). Bruce Trail members do not have to pay.
