Wilder Series: Journey through the Wildlands

Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on our website.

As January slogs on, getting outside with others is the best way to enjoy winter.

This is one of Wilderness Union's favourite hikes, located in the Wilderness Section of the Ganaraska Hiking Trail and just over 2 hours outside of Toronto. You'll feel like you're deep in the wilderness and far away from the hustle of the city.

Our route takes you into classic Canadian Shield territory with cut granite faces, beautiful forests that open onto pristine frozen lakes and more beaver habitats than you've ever seen before.

What you can expect on this hike:

• Truly wild trails
• River crossings via beaver dams
• An epic lakeside lunch lookout
• Possible wildlife spotting

Our end point is a gorgeous lake where we'll stop for a quick lunch before continuing on and ensuring we stay nice and warm.

This is a 10km out-and-back hike for people with moderate to good physical fitness. Remember that snow can also make things more challenging.

Depending on snow levels we may be required to use snowshoes or ice spikes. We have a limited quantity available that you can grab at check-out. Ice spikes are free to borrow and snow shoes can be rented for a small fee.

Highlights
Stunning Lakes: A never ending cascade of beautiful lakes formed by glacial movements.
Beaver Dam Crossing: The incredible engineering of our furry friends will help us safely traverse multiple water crossings.
Pristine Wilderness: Breath deeply and take in the beautiful, quiet power of this hidden spot.

About Wilderness Union
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people.

Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
