Distance: ~4.8 kmDescription
We will start our hike at the BPNP Visitor’s Centre, following the Main Bruce Trail to the Burnt Loop Side Trail. This is a lovely, short and sheltered winter hike (~4.8 km) through cedar forest with pretty views of Georgian Bay, Flower Pot and Bear’s Rump Islands taking approximately 2 – 2 1/2 hours. We will keep a steady pace with brief stops for drinks/snacks and water views. The terrain on the first part of this trail is level, however the Burnt Loop Side Trail is a meandering, rocky trail with some short ups and downs. Winter hikes require extra thought and preparation. Weather can be unpredictable. Be prepared to bring snowshoes, icers and gators (optional). Hiking poles are essential for winter hikes. Make sure to wear layers of clothing, warm winter hat, winter hiking boots and mittens. Bring a light backpack for water and snacks. If the trail is snowcovered, and you don’t have your own snowshoes, don’t worry! Arrive early to the Park Visitors Centre to borrow a pair of snowshoes from the Park for this hike. After the hike, everyone is welcome to have lunch (bring your own) together by the fireplace at the Visitor’s Centre. Indoor washrooms are available here. Extend your hike experience and stay for Friday’s movie at 1 p.m. the Visitor’s Centre (by donation). All park fees apply.
