Members and non-members welcome

ORTA Map 5; 10+ km; 2.5 hrs; Moderate to fast pace; Quite hilly!

Arrive at 9:15 am for a 9:30 am start.

Please bring adequate water and wear appropriate footwear.  Icers should be on hand.  If there is enough snow, snowshoes are welcome if you have them.  Poles are recommended due to hilly terrain but not required.  Non-members are required to contact the hike leader before 6 pm the previous day to discuss if this hike is suitable for you.  

Come out to explore this area of rolling hills.  Formerly the site of a large gravel pit, the area is now comprised of beautiful mixed coniferous-deciduous forests, meadows and wetlands. Much of the surrounding property was previously used for agriculture.  Old farm roads and farm building foundations are still evident. 

Meet at the parking lot on the east side of Uxbridge Conc 6, 0.6 km north of Uxbridge Town Line or 5.5 km south of Durham Road 21.

Please note that this is a pay parking lot.  The location name is Aggregate Pit.  Where possible, hikers are encouraged to carpool from alternate locations (Brock Tract or Pleasure Valley parking lots off Brock Rd. or Wilder or North Walker Woods roadside parking on Concession 6) with fellow hikers to reduce parking fees.  Uxbridge residents are not required to pay for parking but are still required to register for a 'No-Charge Special Permit'.  Details regarding the Uxbridge parking system and HotSpot App can be found at https://www.uxbridge.ca/en/transportation/permit-parking-and-trail-sustainability.aspx
