HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

One of MY favourites!!

We will follow the Bruce Trail into Crawford Lake for a loop hike and take in the views of Burlington and beyond. The carvings around the lake are a bonus. We will return past the cars at the 9 km. mark and then continue to Derry Road and back. A great spot for 11 zee, many options for an extra stop.  A GREAT hike!
