Hike #34: Crawford Lake to Kelso Conservation Area, Milton
Crawford Lake to Kelso Conservation Area, Milton Today we booked reservations early for Kelso Conservation Area. We then took an Uber over to Crawford Lake to link up with where we left off after our last hike. I know, I know...we ended our last hike at Rattlesnake so why start at Crawford? From Crawford we were able to take two short side trails from the parking lot to bypass the canyon section of the Bruce Trail that goes into Rattlesnake before heading on to Kelso. The cost for parking at Keslo is $9.50 per person and the Uber over to Crawford cost $22+tip. So the Uber ride was cheaper than driving two cars, especially once you factor parking cost and gas. There are washroom facilities at both locations. From the parking lot and visitor centre, follow the signs towards the trails. If you are heading towards Kelso, take the Crawford Lake Side Trail, first trail on your left. If you are heading towards Kelso take the 260 metre Canyon Bypass Trail. The Canyon Bypass Trail ends at
