Peter Beecham Side Trail Loop Hike Length: 3 km Section: Caledon Hills Bruce Trail Club

How to get there and Where to Park: From the Hockley Road which runs east-west through Hockley Valley between Airport Road and Highway 10, take the 4th Line to the south uphill. At the top of the valley wall you will see the white blazes of the main Bruce Trail. Continue driving another 600 m to the blue blazes at the start of the Peter Beecham Side Trail. Park beside the road. Description of the Hike: Follow the blue blazes as the Trail heads west and descends to a babbling brook. The Trail then follows the wall of the valley through rolling woodlands to join the main Trail with its white blazes. Turn right (to the east) on an old logging track through a mature forest. After crossing a bridge, the Trail climbs to the 4th Line. Turn right and proceed along the road 600 m to your car. This trail is named after a long-time Scout leader who helped many of our youth discover the beauties of the natural world. The Peter Beecham Loop is especially attractive with the coloured leaves of Fall.
