During the winter months I recommend to dress in layers so you can adjust your clothes to the weather conditions. Hiking poles, a warm drink, snacks, warm gloves & hat and good winter boots (with spikes if you wish) are recommended.
Thursday, February 6th @ Vanderwater Conservation @ 1:00 pm, 512 Vanderwater Road, Thomasburg, Ontario.
(use your car GPS to direct you to the parking lot. This Conservation area is located about 30 minutes north of Belleville and is one of my favorite walks).
We depart from the Conservation Parking Lot at 1:00pm.*****PLEASE NOTE you need to purchase a $5.00 park pass from Quinte Conservation by calling or with their phone App. PLEASE DO NOT purchase the pass until the day prior in case we are rained out****and need to cancel.
This walk will be +/- 3 hours and include a wonderful forest, 2 short medium size hills, some nice look outs, a couple covered rest stops with seating, and then ending with a walk along the Moira River. Once again the forest trails have some uneven/rocky sections. I suggest walking poles, hiking shoes/boots, and please bring your snack and a drink.
I understand you can borrow a free park pass for the Conservation Area from the library. Please check into this if you are interested.
