Pinery Provincial Park is a wonderful place for a Fall hike with the hounds. Who is up for doing a few trails at Pinery between 12 noon and 5:00pm? Resting in between of course. We will start at 12 noon, meeting location will be designated later, but it will be one of the trail start parking lots. (One of the flat terrain trails) Pack a picnic lunch, snacks for you and your furry companion(s).
Notice: The park charges a "per car" daypass fee, please visit the park's website for more information. www.pinerypark.on.ca/
We hope to have a big turnout for this walk. The Fall is a great time for walking and enjoying the fresh air.
More info to follow soon.....
Respond to this post if interested, so we can see what kind of a turnout we will have.
**UPDATE** OCT 5
We will be doing the following 2 trails, meeting at the starting point of the CEDAR trail. There is a map of the park available at the gate where you can find how to get to the Cedar trail once in the Park. Or check it out on the website above.
