Bruce Trail Alternative Routes

“Traditional science is all about finding shortcuts.”
​-Rudy Rucker


The Bruce Trail is a wonderful trail in itself. By no means, this section is a critic of the trail. Even the most amazing things can be improved. This section has one extension and one shortcut. On the map, the red line is the official trail, the black line the alternative route. 

Niagara Extension


Picture
Why starting at Niagara Falls and not at the actual waterfalls? This extension got you covered, you will walk along a busy road, but it well arranged for pedestrian and the view along the Niagara River is really nice.

Direction: Pretty straight forward, from the waterfalls follow the River road (also called Niagara Parkway) to Queenstown Heights park. 

Distance: The extension adds about 11km (7 miles) to the trail.

Orangeville Shortcut


Picture
If you are planing to resupply at Orangeville this shortcut will be your best friend. You will have to walk along roads, but the main trail will be doing lots of road walking anyway.

Direction: Around km 258, take a left on Willoughby Road. Follow this road into Orangeville. From Orangeville, Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail leads you to 5th Sideroad, which will bring you back on the trail at around km 300 by 2 Line EHS Road.

Distance: The shortcut is about 22km (13 miles), the main trail is 42km (26 miles).
