The Bruce Trail is the oldest and longest marked hiking trail in Canada. The Bruce Trail is a hiking trail in southern and central Ontario, Canada from the Niagara River to the tip of Tobermory, Ontario. The main trail is more than 890 km (550 mi) long and there are over 400 km (250 mi) of associated side trails. The trail follows the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, one of the thirteen UNESCO World Biosphere Reserves in Canada. The name of the trail is linked to the Bruce Peninsula and Bruce County, which the trail runs through. The trail is named after the county, which was named after James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin who was Governor General of the Province of Canada from 1847 to 1854. Let us meet for a photo walk

Bruce Trail does not come up with a Google Map search although internet is full of information on the trail from many other sources. This trail has served ancient First Nations, confederation soldiers and pioneer settlers. I have added this as a missing place to Google Maps and awaiting approval and publishing. Rattlesnake Point and Crawford Lake are somewhat in the mid point between Niagara Falls and Tobermory. Rattlesnake Point is one of the most beautiful places in Ontario with turkey vultures over thousand year old cedars. Let us meet there and if the trail is published in the Google Maps, we could photo-enrich the trail to both side over the next four seasons.

Buffalo Crag Lookout Point has one of the best views on the escarpment and famous for watching Turkey Vultures in the warm seasons.
Nassagaweya Canyon Trail is a beautiful day hike between Rattlesnake Point and Crawford Lake linking Iroquoian Village, and rare meromictic lake on the other end.
Crawford Lake Conservation Area is regarded as the crossroads of science and local cultural history connecting Meromictic Lake and recreated Iroquoian longhouse.
