Sydenham Section: Ice Storm Repair Update and Reopened Sections (May 2, 2025)

Thanks to continued hard work from volunteers, the Sydenham Club has successfully re-opened the full length of the main Bruce Trail and most side trails in the section (Blantyre to Wiarton).

Hikers will find flooded sections between Big Bay Sideroad (km 149.1) and roadside parking on Colpoy’s Bay Road (km 155.2) – knee deep water in some sections, which are primarily road.

The following Side Trails remain closed until further notice:
– Tumbled Rocks Side Trail (Map 34)
– Edmonstone Side Trail (Map 34)
– Slough of Despond Side Trail (Map 34)
– President’s Path (Map 34)

Huge thanks to all the Trail Development & Maintenance volunteers who have made these re-openings possible, working long days to assess hazards and clear trail.

Thank you to all trail users who continue to be patient and stay out of closed areas to enable this work to be done.

All ice storm-related Trail closures and re-openings are reflected in the Bruce Trail App and on brucetrail.org/trail_changes/icestorm.
