HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

A salute to St. Patrick! A nice easy walk along the North Burlington Bike Way to Berwick Park and back. On the return trek there is an “option” for a detour down Guelph Line to the Black Bull Pub for a “green bevy” and the crowning of a new Dart Champion for 2025! And a final 1km back to the cars.
