Realistically, few people are going to complete the entire 885-kilometre Bruce Trail in one shot. Who has the time or stamina to spend a full month hiking 30 kilometres a day? Snaking along the Niagara Escarpment and through Bruce County, Canada’s oldest and longest walking trail is a challenge best experienced in stages, a goal for a lifetime. The escarpment’s limestone cliffs, waterfalls, and creeks offer plenty of eye candy.
Day hikers might start with the Walter’s Fall Loop or stroll to the Devil’s Monument in Dyer’s Bay. Other highlights include the 2.5-kilometre Rockway Falls trail southwest of St. Catharines and hiking to the old stone furnace found on the Forks of the Credit near Belfountain.
