The terrain is hilly with some rocky sections. Length of hike is about 13 km, pace is 4-4.5 km/hr. This hike is suitable for intermediate hikers and fit beginners that like to pick up the pace a bit.

Our hike will take us through a series of loops along the rushing water of Grindstone Creek, forested slopes, mature woodlots, the Falls in Waterdown, and the Upper Grindstone Side Trail.

After the hike, a stop at the nearby Copper Kettle Cafe for some Apple/Pear fritters and coffee!
