Itinerary:

So this weekend is the 1 year anniversary since I became a volunteer, so I'm going to post my first hike.

We'll head out to Rattlesnake Point just west of Milton.

This is a nice moderate hike that involves some hills, uneven terrain and probably some muddy areas.

We'll start at Rattlesnake Point Conservation area and take the short route to Crawford Lake Conservation Area, where we'll stop for lunch. Then we'll hike the long way back to our starting point.

Please bring a lunch and at least 1-2 Litres of water. We will stop for breaks to enjoy the countryside, but there will not be any drop offs.

To come on this hike, you will need to be able to walk at a pace of 4.0-4.5 KM/H. There won't be any drop offs
