From your parked car head north along the main Bruce Trail. This white blazed trail follows the top of the escarpment and after about 1 km there are magnificent views across Colpoy’s Bay.
After 1.7 km the main trail intersects with the Chris Walker Side Trail. Turn left onto the side trail and follow the blue blazes for 1.3 km back to the main Bruce Trail. At this point turn right and follow the main trail back to your parked car.
This loop trail falls within the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail. For more information on other loop and side trails and the portion of the main Bruce Trail in this section please visit the Sydenham Bruce Trail Club’s website at http://www.sydenhambrucetrail.ca/
