Itinerary:

From the Friends of the Seaton Trail website:

"The Seaton Trail is located along the West Duffins Creek in Pickering, Ontario. It runs for 12.7 km from 3rd Concession near Brock Road northwest to Highway 7 at Green River. The trail follows historic hunting and fishing routes on the creek, used for centuries by aboriginal people. In pioneer times, the creek and valley became the site of several water powered mills. A former grist mill stills exists at Whitevale."

Part of the Last Minute Hike Series for people who just happen to be available for "spontaneous" hiking. Weather forecast for Sunday will be cloudy with showers and a high of around 7 degrees.

This event will be a moderate paced 12.7 km hike of the Seaton Hiking Trail (with a car shuttle at the end).

We'll keep to a comfortable pace of around 3.5 to 4.5 km an hour with opportunities for taking photos and other short stops if desired. Lunch and snacks will be on the trail.

All dogs must be on leash and all dog waste must be packed out. Dog owners are responsible for their own rides.
