    Nice. Been thinking about doing some Bruce trail action myself. That little section looks pretty sweet.

    I hiked the Bruce as a kid, grade 7, 8, 9. Summer camp dropped us south and we walked for 3 days north. The most incredible moments of my life. I now have my own 12 year old son, Im so excited to take him up to that beautiful piece of land.

    Bridges... nice to have. I had to change clothes to cross a river in a Wilderness area in Alberta. Had to cross it in three places as it was so wide. Same thing on the return. Freezing cold. Fire and towel to dry before continuing the hike. There were big bridges on the bank for pack horses, nothing for trekkers. A very memorable solo hike. Lots of moose and coyotes. I think I counted 13 deer.

    How did you manage camping on the BT? I was researching going end to end but was warned by others and online research that camping is not allowed on the majority of the trail.
    That if hiking the BT we have to make arrangements for places to stay for the night. I understand part of the reason is privately owned sections of the trail. What was your experience? I'm really interested. Not being able to camp is what put me off doing it. It's the main reason I haven't done it.

    • @MattyFoOutdoors
      @MattyFoOutdoors  3 года назад

      Hey! So if you google campsites on the Bruce trail they have a list of sites. But as you said they are definitely few and far in-between so you have to stay at hotel or air b and b’s for most of the trail

    • @raczyk
      @raczyk 2 года назад

      what about camping on the provincial parks along the trail? Are there fines if caught? As long as it's not a criminal charge. Which I read private property trespassing is.
