Description

Join us for an exciting in-and-out hike to visit the ice caves that form along the escarpment east of Rush Cove. This hike will also feature scenic views of Georgian Bay and walks through snowy forests—perfect for those looking to explore the winter wonderland of the Bruce (Saugeen) Peninsula.
We will meet at the Rush Cove Road municipal parking lot at the top of the hill and hike the side trail down the road to the main trail, at which point we will enter the forest. We will follow the main trail to the Shoreline Access side trail, which will take us to the ice caves. On our return, we will take the Rush Cove side trail to meet up with the main trail and then follow the side trail back up the hill to the parking lot.
Winter Hiking Tips:
Wear appropriate winter footwear and traction devices (e.g., microspikes) for icy conditions.
Snowshoes may be needed, depending upon how much snow is on the ground. Gaiters can also keep the snow out of your boots.
Dress in layers to adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day.
Bring plenty of water, snacks, and a camera to capture the stunning scenery.

Description

The name Mississauga comes from the Anishinaabe word Misi-zaagiing, which means “Those at the Great River-mouth”. Join me for part 2 of my tribute to the Mississaugas as we move from the Humber to the Credit River, which was the site of the last settlement for the Mississaugas in the GTA, called the Credit Mission Village, from 1825 to 1847. We will hike from Port Credit Go following the Credit River to the present day Mississauga Golf and Country Club where the Credit Mission Village once stood on 200 acres of land. After a short history talk we will loop back to Port Credit via Mississauga Road.
Please pack a lunch and a Thermos of your favorite hot beverage. Remember that icers and sturdy hiking shoes or boots are mandatory for winter hiking. Poles are optional but can be of assistance on ice and snow.
Washrooms available only at Port Credit Go Station. We will stop for a bio break in nature before venturing on the golf course.
