Speyside North Route
When:Thursday, April 10, 2025
Location:Park on either side of 15 Sideroad, about 300m east of Hwy. 25.
The Bruce Trailhead is slightly east of #8235 15 Sideroad, Acton (on north side)
Time:9:30 am – 12:00 pm
Length:approximately 8 km., moderate-fast pace
Difficulty:This is a Level 2-2+ trail due to uneven surfaces with tree roots, leaf coverage and several rocky areas. The route may be muddy & slippery due to weather conditions. The rocky terrain is challenging and sturdy hiking boots or shoes and confidence navigating this landscape is essential.
This is an interesting route which follows the main Bruce Trail, as well as the Vanderleck, 17 Sideroad Trail, Cliff Hatch (formerly Speyside North) and Speyside South Side Trails. The trail passes through beautiful forests and swamps and crosses a few small bridges. Take a deep breath and enjoy the physical & mental health benefits of hiking and nature time (vitamin “N”)!
Hiking poles recommended. Bring water, snacks and dress for the weather. No dogs please.
Carpool Option: Meet at 8:50 for a 9:00 am departure from the Rockmosa Community Hall, 110 Rockmosa Rd, Rockwood (park on south side of tennis courts)
