Category: Hike Leader’s Hike
Location (Google Maps): We will meet at the back of the Kilbride School on Panton Street at 08:30 sharp. From here we will carpool to the roadside parking at Twiss Road, (just south of Camp Manitou- Boy Scout camp and just north of Derry Rd.) See link below for directions.
As this roadside parking area has limited room for cars and does tend to fill up quickly and early on weekends we will carpool to this location. As there is plenty of parking at the nearby Kilbride Park, behind Kilbride School at the end of Panton St we will shuttle from there to Twiss road.Hike Leader(s): Dave Salt Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Medium – 3 to 4 km/hr
Terrain: Moderate – Some hills and/or some poor footing
Distance: Approx 10kmDescription
This is a rescheduled hike from April 13 that was cancelled due to weather. I am changing the format slightly from a Iroquoia hike leader social to a meet & greet the Iroquoia hike leaders. Everyone is welcome on this hike and it will be a great opportunity for non-leaders to meet our team and to learn what being a BT hike leader is all about. After we carpool to the Twiss road parking area we will hike toward the Guelph Line where we will cross the road and enter the Crawford Lake Conservation Area and make our way to the Nassagawaya Canyon lookout where we will take a short break. From the lookout we will retrace our steps back to the Guelph Line and back to Twiss road. All hikers will be carpooled back to Panton Street where most cars will be parked behind the Kilbride school. If the weather allows we can have an optional social afterwards for additional conversations.Please dress for the weather. Bring water and snacks in addition to a lunch.
Please bring suntan lotion and bug spray if you are partial to that as we may be in the early timing for blackfly season.Hiking Rotary Park to Decew House

We’ll meet at the Walter’s Falls Community Centre at 1:30. After a very short car shuttle, our hike begins at Deviation Road. We will hike west along the top of the escarpment for 3 km, enjoying the scenic vistas and the beautiful forest for 3 km, then descend into the Rocklyn Creek valley and follow the waterfalls out to the road. The creek portion is muddy at this time of year, so waterproof footwear is strongly advised.
