Hockley Valley - Caledon Hills Club

Posted on July 31, 2008

Feature: Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve

Directions and Parking: Take Hockley Road through the Hockley Valley between Airport Road and Highway 10.  Just to the east of the 2nd Line is a new parking lot constructed by the Ministry of Natural Resources for visitors to the Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve.  It is then necessary to walk west along the side of the road for 100 m to meet the white blazes of the Bruce Trail.

Hike Directions: From the Hockley Valley Road, climb the hill on the white-blazed main Bruce Trail.  After a short distance you will meet a trail junction.  Take the white blazed main Trail on the left (you will be returning on the blue-blazed trail on your right).  After about 2.2 km of following the white blazes up a hill and through hardwood bush, you will reach the blue-blazed side trail.  Turn right and follow the blue blazes back to the junction near the road.  You can then follow the white-blazed Trail back to the road. 

Length: A round trip from the parking area through the Park and back will be about 5 km.  Allow 2 hours for your hike.
