PROBUS Outdoors Club – McKee Trails
November 9, 2023 @ 10:00 - 12:00
This week we will be hiking the McKee trails. We’ll aim for a hike that will be about an hour and a half to two hours.
This time of year the trails are not always ideal conditions to hike on with the slippery leaves or muddy conditions. Hiking poles or walking sticks are advised on all hikes.
Looking ahead these are the places where we will be hiking, not necessarily in this order.
- Mitchells Road Loop – According to All Trails it is only a 3.7 km loop, but there are some trails off the main one that we can explore as well. There has been some discussion about hiking towards Three Towers on this route too. The elevation along with the slippery leaves have us pausing on this route for a few weeks.
- West Peninsula Road trails – Do we have any volunteers who are able and willing to check out the trials off of West Peninsula Road and lead a hike there?
- Stepping Stones, McNutt trails, Education Trials, Kinsmen Beach to Lee Park are all possible trails to explore and hike while we wait for snowshoe season.
- Bella Hill Maple Syrup Farm in Powassan. I’m working on a date with the owners. This outing will include a campfire during our lunch.
Please email Barb on Wednesday, Nov. 8th, if you plan to attend. All hikes start at 10:00 a.m.
Directions
Take College Drive to the top of the hill, turn right onto Monastery Road. Parking on the road. There is a large wooden structure at the trailhead.
We’ll have a social time after the hike for those who are able to stay. Dig out your thermos and pack a snack if you wish.
Thanks everyone for your support with this group,
Barb
