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.

With file information from the Bruce Trail, for more information on this and other Bruce trails please purchase the Bruce Trail map and trail guidebook. The Bruce Trail is the oldest and longest marked hiking trail in Canada. It is 840 km long, with over 440 km of side trails. Every year more than 400,000 visits are made to the Trail as people walk, snowshoe, watch wildlife, take photographs and admire the glorious scenery of the Escarpment.



The Bruce Trail was instrumental in the Escarpment being named a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations in 1990 - one of only twelve such reserves in all of Canada. The Bruce Trail is a member of the Ontario Trails Council through affiliation with Hike Ontario.
