HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

A beautiful area for a spring hike. We will “meet up” with Dave’s group in the area and follow the Main Bruce Trail into Crawford Lake for a loop hike and take in the views of Burlington and beyond. The carvings around the lake are a bonus. We will return past the cars at the 9km. mark and then continue to Derry Rd. and back. A great spot for 11zee and many other options for an additional stop.

A Great hike.
