Adventure Description

When you think of Crown Land, you think of forests, hundreds of KM away from Toronto. There are a few rare patches found closer to the city and we'll be visiting one on this Mystery Location Hike. We keep some of our locations secret because the word hasn't gotten out about them and we want to keep them special so we ask you to keep them a secret too!

This 10km hike sees us following a beautiful creek, meandering through stands of red pine and over an abandoned railway line. It's an easy hike with enough scenery to keep anyone interested.

Ice Spike rental is included in the trip fee for any members who need them.
