The Keeling Side Trail starts at the parking lot of Inglis Falls at 237785 Inglis Falls Road, Owen Sound, ON. The trail head starts just to the east of the bridge by the washrooms. You can take the blue blazed trail to the right or south just before the washrooms {there is a trailhead sign here} or, to add some variety you can continue east past the washrooms and take the first trail to the right which will join on to the main Blue Trail, at which point you would turn left to follow the blue trail. The trail continues east until it meets Highway 6 & 10. Cross the highway with a short jog to the south (right) and continue east. At the Owen Sound rail trail the trail joins up with the Sydenham Nature Reserve Trail. You can retrace your trail back to Inglis Falls to complete the Keeling Side Trail Loop OR cross the rail trail and continue to follow the blue blazes to hike the Sydenham Nature Reserve Trail in a loop until you return to the Owen Sound rail trail. Turn north (left) until you reach where you had crossed the rail trail earlier. Turn left and follow the trail back (across Highways 6 & 10) and back to Inglis Falls.
