Dufferin Hi-Land Bruce Trail Hikes

Terrain and trail conditions play a part in determining speed and difficulty of a hike. Choose a hike that suits your capabilities and comfort level.

The Dufferin Hi-land Bruce Trail and Bruce Trail Conservancy hike schedules offer hikes for a wide range of ability and interest. For example: forest bathing, geology, iNaturalist and End-to-End Challenge hikes.

Always carry snacks and lots of water. Hiking boots and poles are recommended, sturdy shoes will do on shorter hikes on easy to moderate terrain. A change of socks is recommended, as well as an extra pair of shoes for the trip home. Snowshoes or icers may be required for winter hikes. If you have them, please bring them along. If unsure, please contact the hike leader.

Some hike descriptions will indicate that “well-mannered dogs are welcome”. If you are considering bringing your dog and this statement is not included in the description, please contact the hike leader to discuss whether your dog is welcome on one of our hikes.
