Where to Hike

Exploring BruceGreySimcoe’s trails in winter is a whole new experience!  Blanketed beneath snow and ice, the landscape becomes a tapestry of cool and awesome formations.  Depending on snow depth, snowshoes or cross-country skies may be required to access stunning scenery and quiet beauty. 
 
Before heading out, make sure you tell someone the route you’re taking and use the Comfort Tips online tool to make sure you’re dressed for the weather conditions and temperature.  Check out trail and snow conditions ahead of time, too.
