The Niagara region is one of Canada’s most productive fruit-growing areas. Strolling along country roads lined with farms and orchards, you'll see ripe peaches, plums, and grapes hanging from the trees and smell the sweet fragrance of the harvest in the air—you'll truly understand why it's called a Fruit Paradise. To make the most of the short harvest season, let’s hike the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail and if you are interested, visit local farms afterward—perhaps even enjoy some fruit picking!

This is the last hike of a five-hike End-to-End series covering the entire Niagara section of the Bruce Trail. The full section stretches over 80 kilometers from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Grimsby. I am using Map Edition 29, so please note that kilometer markings may not be fully up to date, and actual hiking distances may vary slightly.

Are you new to hiking or interested in getting started? Join us at the Evergreen Brickworks for a one hour session where you will learn what you need to have in your backpack for a safe and enjoyable hike, how to continue enjoying Ontario's trails in the Winter season, how our club works to preserve biodiversity on the Niagara Escarpment, and how you can join us year round for our program of urban walks, car hikes, bus hikes, and Winter ski/snowshoe coach trips. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers after the speakers. This workshop is part of our "Hiker Initiation Program" - join us for an introductory hike on the Bruce Trail on Sunday October 19th to the Limehouse Conservation area near Georgetown featuring the Limestone kilns, stone arch bridge, and the "Hole In The Wall" on the Bruce Trail, just under an hour from Toronto. Registration for the Bus Hike is seperate from this workshop. The date of this workshop is also "Bruce Trail Day" and the Toronto Bruce Trail Club will have a booth in Tiffany Commons in the Brickworks on the Saturday and Sunday featuring displays, activities, and an opportunity to join TBTC hike leaders on a free guided hike in the Evergreen Brickworks and adjoining ravine. Registration for these hikes will be at the club's booth in Tiffany Commons. and the schedule of hikes will be posted here at later date.
