This 10km hike will start on Concession 4 in the Township of Uxbridge and take us through the Clubine Tract and Norton Forest Tracts of trail.  From there we will cross Brock Rd near Coppins Corners and then head southeast through North Walkers Woods.  We’ll take a short jog south along Concession 6 and then head east across the top of East Walkers Woods.

Bring water and snacks.  Expect hilly terrain. Parking in the trail parking lot is paid ($6.00, Towers Lot, Zone 106) – for details on how to pay see:   https://www.uxbridge.ca/en/transportation/permit-parking-and-trail-sustainability.aspx#Permit-Parking-Locations-within-the-Township-of-Uxbridge.  This will be a through hike, not a loop hike – we will be meeting at the endpoint, doing a shuttle to the start point and then hiking east towards the endpoint. One or more volunteers will be needed to be shuttle drivers.

For anyone working on an End-to-End Hike this is one of an occasional series of hikes along the Oak Ridges Main Trail, mostly on the off-road sections, in York and Durham Regions. 

Registration is limited to 12 hikers.

No dogs please.

PARKING: West side of Concession Rd 7 at Houston Road, in the trail parking area.
