Peter Beecham Side Trail Loop


Follow the blue blazes as the Trail heads west and descends to a babbling brook. The Trail then follows the wall of the valley through rolling woodlands to join the main Trail with its white blazes.

Turn right (to the east) on an old logging track through a mature forest. After crossing a bridge, the Trail climbs to the 4th Line. Turn right and proceed along the road 600 m to your car.

This trail is named after a long-time Scout leader who helped many of our youth discover the beauties of the natural world. The Peter Beecham Loop is especially attractive with the coloured leaves of Fall.

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.
