Keyhole Trail
Caves and crevices have tong been a mystery to human beings. The chance to discover one is the lure on this trail. You walk at the base of sir metre (20 foot) outliers that create mini canyons. Visit the Toronto Group Caving Website here.
The pathway leads up a slope through large rock boulders, passes through small crevices and ends with a tight squeeze through a small hole in the wall. There is a way around this keyhole if you can't quite fit. When you reach the main trail, continue on to Freedom Rock and Best Caves. On the way back, look for the blue blaze of the Nottawasaga Access Trail. It leads back to the parking lot, or, if the lure is strong enough, you can return to the Keyhole.
