What we’re about
Toronto Bruce Trail Club is the largest of the nine member clubs of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Founded in 1962, the Toronto Bruce Trail Club celebrated our 60th anniversary in 2022!
You don't have to be a member to join one of our organized hikes, but we invite you to consider becoming one to support the Bruce Trail --- it is the membership provides crucial support for the Bruce Trail and the Conservation of the Niagara Escarpment. Without membership, there would be no Bruce Trail - "When you are out on The Trail, consider for a moment what this means: every blaze, every boardwalk, every bridge, every stile is there thanks to volunteers and members" -- Robert Bateman, one of the Trail's founding members.

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 first 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.
