Hoggs Falls

Reviewed By BarbG2017

Hoggs Falls loop (connected to the Bruce Trail) is a fantastic moderate hike around 5.7km. The Falls are beautiful but the rest of the trail provides a variety of interesting terrain. We did the hike in mid-October so the foliage was exceptional but we will definitely come back again in late Spring. It is very hilly and the damp leaves made some areas slippery and some parts of the trail were boggy - to be expected at this point in the Autumn - so good hiking shoes are a must. As much as my husband & I enjoyed the walk, our Golden, Max, enjoyed it ten times more! It is a great hike and worth driving out of your way to do.

Duncan Escarpment Provincial Nature Reserve

Reviewed By Zeusthecockapoo - Barrie, Canada

I was really impressed by Duncan Escarpment and frankly surprised that it isn't better known. Its an area with very diverse and interesting scenery and a lot of variation in elevation throughout; will keep your heart pumping. Trail markers were pretty good overall, never had any real issue finding our way, however I would still recommend downloading/snapping a photo of the trail map to familiarize with the different side trails. Some of the highlights for me included the fantastic lookouts over the surrounding valley, pinnacle rock, and the many striking limestone stacks. Ambitious hikers can combine with an extention of the Bruce Trail which will take you to Metcalfe Rock and then loop around for a 10KM round trip. I would highly recommend doing so if possible as Metcalfe Rock is very impressive in of itself.

It`s a wonderful place to relax while watching the ducks and the birds by the trail. The park has updated playground equipment, picnic tables trails and some wildlife. They also have a spring you can get drinking water from.

Bighead River Conservation Area

Reviewed By R5306CIpaulm - Owen Sound, Canada

Lovely hiking trails up both sides of the river. Lots of places to stop and relax and although it often feels like you are out in the middle of nowhere, you are actually never very far from somewhere. When we were teenagers we used to party "back bush" along these trails. It's neat to see that some people still carry on that tradition.
