Working on your PBTC Blue Series? This Rural Rocks Side Trail loop is a hidden gem! Rural Rocks Side Trail, and its short Obese Side Trail, are part of only few Bruce trail sections not connected to the main trail. The side trails found here follow some difficult terrain – the section passing through cathedral type rock formations is very rugged. You also pass through patches of moss and fern, a maple-birch-balsam forest, and pass by an active beaver pond. Join Margie, a new PBTC new Hike Leader, on her first guided hike. Meet at Colpoy’s Bay Government Dock parking lot, off Bruce Road 9, at 9:00 a.m. We will carpool a short distance to the Rural Rootz Nature Reserve. Expect this hike to be approximately 2 hours. Bring a light backpack with plenty of water, snacks, insect repellent, sunscreen, hiking poles (optional). Wear a hat and sturdy footwear.
