Limehouse Figure Eight Loop
Location22nd Side Road at 5th Line, opposite Limehouse Public School
Spending time in nature reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease.
A review of 143 scientific studies showed that spending more time in green space cuts your overall risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Increasing outdoor time for your health is so well proven, that nature is being adopted worldwide as a health intervention and in Canada, healthcare providers can even write you a prescription for it, with BC Parks Foundation's PaRx program. Nature is becoming the fourth pillar of health just as important for staying healthy as good nutrition, regular exercise and sleep. Ontario doctors are also starting to prescribe outdoor time as a health care intervention.

We'll walk a figure eight loop, go through wooded sections, while trying not to trip on tree roots! One stream crossing, a few hills and some road walking on a quiet side road before entering Limehouse C.A. for the second loop. NOT going through “The Hole In The Wall” as it will still be closed. Taking in the Kiln and the Black Creek trail, which is beautiful.
Length: 8 km. Pace: moderate. Terrain: Level 2
Car Sharing: Meet at 110 Rockmosa Drive, Rockwood, the Rockmosa Community Hall, next to the tennis courts at 8:50 AM for a 9:00 AM departure to the trailhead.
