Bruce Trail
The Niagara Escarpment winds its way down the Bruce Peninsula and so does the famous Bruce Trail, offering hikers a chance to witness the incredible views and nature that the Biosphere provides. The Bruce Trail opened in 1967, and is Canada’s oldest and longest hiking trail. The 150 kms of trails located on the Bruce Peninsula are considered to be the best in Southern Ontario, and offer hiking for both the beginner and veteran hiker. Much of the trail is on private property that the landowners generously offer so that everyone can enjoy the incredible views and close experience with nature. Please remember to treat the trail and surrounding wilderness with respect so that future hikers can enjoy the same beauty for generations to come!
