Mad River Section - Ganaraska Hiking Trail
The Mad River section is named after the Mad River, which it parallels for some distance. It has a length of 52 kilometres and ends at the end-of-trail cairn, west of Glen Huron, where it connects with the Bruce Trail.
It is mainly flat terrain with a few hills (e.g. Ten hill west of Creemore). Special parts of this section include the Mad River, where one can see the trout spawning in spring, Ten hill and Creemore with its renowned local brewery and its ancient little jail. This section is suitable for novices. Please see the re-route warnings.
