Our Trail Maintenance volunteers are working hard to assess and clear the debris, but for your safety, please avoid these sections until further notice. This closure may last a few weeks until our volunteer crews can attend to all the damage. As assessment continues, other parts of the Bruce Trail may be temporarily closed. Updates will be noted in the Bruce Trail App and on brucetrail.org/trail_changes/icestorm. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
