THE CARPOOL DEPARTURE TIME FROM SHEPPARD WEST STATION PASSENGER PICKUP IS 10:00 AM

We'll be taking the Bruce Trail from the Crawford Forestry Tact to Rattlesnake Point & back in a nice 21 KM lollipop loop.

This is an intermediate hike that involves some hills, uneven terrain, including some nice fun rocky areas and probably some muddy spots.

Best features of this hike include two great lookout spots.

Please bring a lunch and at least 1-2 Litres of water. We will stop for lunch @ the halfway point, but there will not be any drop offs.

Total Distance 21 km
