HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

We will follow urban trails into Bronte Creek Provincial Park and then through fields to the east bank of Bronte Creek. From there we head south into the park and return via a loop to our starting point. We get great views of the creek from above and follow lovely trails in the park. 

Although the hike is easy in terms of pace and distance, the terrain will be uneven in some areas along the bank of the creek, with roots across the trail and perhaps the odd rock. 

REGISTRATION REQUIRED
