Amanda and Peter's Bruce Trail Trek

  Highway #5 to Guelph Line, Burlington Today we parked our car roadside on Guelph Line and got a lift to our starting location on Highway 5 (just east of Kerns road in Burlington). Highway #5 is really busy and we didn't feel it was safe leaving our car parked there. I suggest City View Park on Kerns Road as an alternate starting location. The entrance to the trail is on the North side of Highway 5 off a private drive.  This section of the Bruce, with its gentle rolling hills, is for hiking only.  Start of trail on north side of Hwy #5 (Waterdown-Burlington boundary) Section of trail between Hwy #5 and Cedar Springs road.       The woods here were tight to the trail, forming a tunnel.  It would be interesting to see what they are like with foliage in the summer/fall. Once you reach Cedar Springs Road there is a brief section that is on the road. Cedar Springs Road is pretty busy so be careful and make sure to walk facing oncoming traffic. A few hundred meters along Cedar Springs

Mill Street (Waterdown) to King Road (Burlington) Knowing that parking at Smokey Hallow Falls might be an issue, we started our hike on King Road in Burlington and hiked to Mill Street in Waterdown and then back again.  Normally there are spots for six cars on King road (south of Mountain Brow Road); however this steep section of King Road is currently closed due to winter conditions.  So we parked at the base of the steep section of King Road road and walked the 500 metres to the trail. For continuity, we hiked back to where we left off on our last hike. The photos are in order from Waterdown to Burlington.  This section of the Bruce Trail runs along a friendship trail - Offa's Dyke Path. Brink of the Smokey Hollow Falls, Waterdown Smokey Hollow Falls, Waterdown After hiking over to Mill Street and taking some winter shots of Smokey Hollow Falls we started our tracker and hiked back to our car on King Road.   Steps out of the Parking Lot for Smokey Hallow Falls towards Mill Street
