Wild camping is considered trespassing and is not permitted. The trail difficulty varies, but for the most part is not difficult or dangerous although there are a few areas, mostly in the northern section which are wild, rocky, and rather challenging, requiring some climbing; good boot grips are a must as rocks can become slippery in the rain.
The total elevation gain on the trail is ft. Summer is the best time to walk the trail although it is open all year round. Expect snow in winter. The weather here is rather changeable, often rainy and the summers may be cool, especially on the peninsula. Always carry waterproof and warm clothing. A thru-hike will take around 30 to 40 days and resupplying will often involve walking a fair distance off-trail or arranging with the trail angels to collect you to resupply or drop off pre-sent food boxes.
The terrain can change depending on where along The Bruce Trail you choose to hike. Further south in the Niagara Region, the trails are flatter and normally gravel or dirt. Large boulders and rocky surfaces can make the trail difficult.
If you find yourself in over your head — take your time. Winter is actually one of my favourite times to hike for a number of reasons including fewer people and no bugs.
Bring the usuals like a water bottle, snacks, etc but I also recommend having a pair of crampons with you. That honestly really depends on you! Some people try and start at one end and work their way bit by bit to complete the full thing.
Others stick to more of the side trails. These Might Help! I often head for lookouts and waterfalls, then just see where my feet take me.
Now, what are you waiting for? Time to get some hiking boots and hit the trails! Happy hiking! Thanks so much for this post, I will be bookmarking it. This area looks great. How much wildlife did you see? There have been some bear warnings at times, but there has always been signage or park staff warning about it. I hope you can explore my country soon!
Great post and photos, Lindsay. I would love to spend more time in Canada and the Bruce Trail looks well worth the effort! Love the cool signposting too! Thanks for sharing. Thanks so much, I appreciate it! I hope you can make it back soon to enjoy them! There is farm, road and industrial pollution. Local outdoors shops can tell you about treatment options or local sources for clean water along the way.
Decew Falls has an outdoor tap. Hi Sara — thanks for the information! It is definitely better to look for sources of filtered water rather than from streams and other waterways. My husband and I love to hike! This sounds like it would be a wonderful Trail to spend a few days exploring. Are dogs allowed on this trail? We travel North America with them on a regular. Thanks for the wonderfully detailed post. A pocket filter is such a good idea though — I might have to look into that one!
I love those side trails. So much fun. Where the true gems are. Thanks for a great post. Hi Shawna! Thank you for sharing this! I appreciate it! Enjoy it. Sarah James. July 28, The new mountainview side trail is quite challenging.
Well marked. Stairs going down the Rainforth trail are a bit janky. Nicole Steckley. July 26, A little muddy due to the recent rain. Nice views. Tanja Streit.
