We haven't done this hike for a couple of years, so I thought we would hike this trail again, as it's beautiful.

Puslinch Tract or Twin Ponds, as it is often referred to, has an incredible trail offering and is one of the best kept secrets in the area. Located just outside of Cambridge, Ontario, Puslinch has a wide variety of trail types and something to offer of all abilities.

This hike goes for an hour. Guest, kids and leashed friendly pets are welcome.

The trails at Puslinch are fairly well marked but you have to be on the lookout. The trails wind tightly through the forest and it’s easy to miss a marker, so make sure I am in sight at all times.

In the winter the trails are shared by hikers, dog walkers and horseback riders. They tend to use the trails in all directions so keep your head up. It’s a great trail system to bring your trail-dog along if your lucky enough to have one.

There is ample parking in the main parking lot. There are no amenities at the trail-heads but there is a local store nearby, on the corner of Concession 2 and Wellington Road 32, which is a 2 minute walk.

Afterwards we can figure out were we can go for coffee.

Happy hiking and I look forward to seeing you there.
