Cycling Sundial Creek
Leaders: Kathy Hunt, Jane Bonsteel, Bob Sullivan, and Dorthea Hangaard
This is an in person event with a max # of 10 people per tour.
Grab your bike and join a guided cycling tour of an important watershed within the City of Orillia. You will learn about a hidden gem in our community – Sundial Creek. Discover why this rare cold water stream, a spawning ground for brook trout and a refuge from the urban landscape for many species, needs to be protected and restored.
This will be a leisurely 15-20 km bike ride, beginning at Couchiching Beach Park. We will explore the flow of Sundial Creek, making stops at Grant Wetland Nature Reserve and Wilson’s Point Wetland. The route will take us through neighbourhood streets and along the Lightfoot and Millennial trails.
