Silver Creek Conservation Area

Silver Creek Conservation Area

The 6.5km of the main Bruce Trail (marked by white paint blazes) takes you through this escarpment mature woodlot, where large, flat, moss covered debris was left by a retreating glacier. Explore the steep valley wall of Snow’s Creek leading to a wooden bridge crossing the cascading creek. Entering a cedar forest, you will cross a boardwalk and continue to descend along the valley, crossing owl creek. You are now heading out of the conservation area as you begin to once again climb the escarpment.
