The Bruce Trail in the Peninsula SectionThe trail is a work in progress and it keeps changing so we are always looking for volunteers to help. For information about volunteering and how we build and maintain the trail, please visit the Trail Work web page. The main trail (white blazes) begins in Wiarton and winds its way up the east side (the higer side) of the Peninsula to Tobermory. For most of its length the trail is a rugged footpath and in numerous situations it provides spectacular views over Georgian Bay. Along its path there are side trails and access trails (blue blazes). There are numerous opportunities to complete relatively short hikes that form loops by using segments of the main trail and a side trail. The best resource for hikers who wish to use the footpath is the Trail Reference Guide 25th Edition (or for insert only & no binder). This recent edition contains multicoloured and detailed maps of the entire Bruce Trail. It is a very useful resource. As a supplement to the Trail Reference Guide 25th Edition, the PBTC has compiled a useful Bruce Penininsula Day Hike Guide that includes maps. For more information about this package, and where you may buy it, see the Bruce Penininsula Day Hike Guide web page. Our goal is to keep moving the trail to its optimum route - along the escarpment. Our PBTC Newsletter (The Rattler) keeps members informed of trail changes. A good reason to become a PBTC member.
