This 10 km hike will take us from Lincolnville Lane at the York-Durham Boundary east across the Goodwood Tract past the Secord Pond and pet cemetery established by the late Dr. Alan Secord. Expect wet conditions in the first section of the hike and hilly terrain throughout. We will finish the hike where the trail intersects with Concession Rd. 4 in Uxbridge. This will be a through hike, not a loop hike – we will be meeting at the endpoint, doing a shuttle to the start point and then hiking east towards the endpoint. One or more volunteers will be needed to be shuttle drivers.This is the first of 3 hikes in Durham Region.
