Tuesday, September 23, 2025 @ Frontenac Provincial Park @ 9:00am - 6767 Perth Road, Perth Road, Ontario
The hike departs at 9:00am sharp and the drive from Picton to get to this location takes almost 90 minutes. You will need to depart Picton no later than 7:30am to meet us. Perth Road is the same road as the Division Street exit (Kingston) off Hwy # 401.......the road becomes Perth Road as you go north. Please look at this on your GPS and make sure you can find this location. (Let me know if you have any problem finding this location)
The start location is a small driveway on the west side of Perth Road. Parking will be in this driveway or along the side of the road. I drive a black Jeep Cherokee and plan to arrive 15 minutes early so I should be there to meet you.
This is a 15km hike with many hills and excellent lockouts along the way. You need to bring a day pack with 2 litres of water, snacks and your lunch. You should also should have a rain coat and a change of clothes. Hiking boots and walking poles are highly recommended.
This is a challenging hill walk, with both steep inclines and declines for long sections

Thursday, October 2nd Rock Dunder Nature Reserve @ 10am - 72 Stanley Lash Lane, Lyndhurst, Ontario.
We will meet at the trailhead for this hike of 5km. Rock Dunder Nature Reserve is a treasure that lies within the UNESCO Thousand Islands Frontenac Arch Biosphere. Rising 275 feet above Morton Bay, Rock Dunder provides breathtaking views of the surrounding lakes and woodlands. The trail leads to one of the highest points of land in the area, and offers stunning vistas. We will hopefully have great Fall colors. This is a challenging hill walk, with both steep inclines and declines for long sections, but worth your efforts. We will walk at a reasonable pace, and I expect the visit will be +/- 5 hours. The drive is +/- 1.5 hours each way and if you car pool and share the fuel cost that would be great. There is an entrance fee of +/- $5.00 per person or $15.00 per car.

The 2+ hour walk will cover a few of the seven trails and run through forested woods, across babbling creeks, around some marshes, and past old stone fences. We will also have time to enjoy some of the pioneer-era buildings, including a blacksmith shop, carriage house, one-room schoolhouse, and covered bridge.
Difficulty level is moderate. For those interested, we can stop for coffee after our walk. This summer we are offering some new & traditional destinations for our walks. The hikes are open for anyone in the community to enjoy the nature surrounding us. Each hike will have a difficulty level from easy to strenuous.
