Updated January 15, 2021

Most of the Bruce Trail is open to local foottraffic.
Stay local. Avoid travelling outside your municipality/region. Hike close to home. (See our responsible hiking guidelines here)

As parks, conservation areas, municipalities and other landowners make changes to the status of their land and facilities, we will update this page. It is best to visit the websites or social media accounts of these organizations directly for the latest on closures or changes to access.

Trail Closures and re-openings are updated in the Bruce Trail App as soon as possible.

Please Note:

• Where the trail is open: Hike Safely & Responsibly
• Most onsite facilities (including public washrooms) are closed even where trails are open.
• Where the Bruce Trail remains closed, please do not park on nearby roads, move gates or barriers, or hop fences, as these actions are illegal.
