HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

A nice leisurely walk from Dundas Driving Park through Old Dundas. If trail conditions are favorable, we will hike up Sydenham Rd. and access the Bruce Trail and side trails to the Peak and Tews Falls.

An easier walk along Spencer Creek towards McMaster and back if trails are “icy”.

And then a “few” laps around the skating loop to get the other muscles in the legs moving.

A definite warm up drink afterwards.
