The Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club organizes hikes throughout the year of varying lengths and difficulties. All hikes are organized and led by VOLUNTEER members of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. Many hikes are available to members & non-members, with some hikes being for members only.  We encourage non-members participating in our hikes to consider becoming a member to support our Club in its work to maintain the Bruce Trail as a public footpath.  Link to Membership

The hike schedule is posted on the Bruce Trail Conservancy website, and hikes appear in the schedule as hike leaders enter them.  All those wishing to attend an organized hike offered via the Iroquoia club must pre-register using the online schedule.

The Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club welcomes everyone to the Bruce Trail and warmly invites you for a hike.  Please register for one of the "My First Hike" on the Hike Schedule.

The Hike Leader can answer all of your questions about membership, volunteering and hiking. At the end of the hike, you will receive a My First Hike badge from the hike leader.

We hope that it will be the first of many more hikes for you.
