Iroquoia Section - Grimsby (0.0 km) to Lewis Road (11.1 km) - Jan. 11, 2024. Happy New Year from the Hiking With Friends group and welcome to our first adventure of 2024!..after an extended holiday break, it's time to get back on our favorite trail and reunite with nature (and work off some of the seasonal excesses that 'may' have accrued during that more sedentary period)...our goal on this day was to hike from the Grimsby Lions Community Pool parking lot westward to Lewis Road, which will cover 11.1 km of the main trail, and end up being around 12.5 km of actual distance with the necessary side trail accesses... After climbing up the 40 Mile Creek valley, it's a pretty linear track along this ribbon of wilderness that separates the predominantly agricultural lands to the south from the more urbanized area to the north along the shores of Lake Ontario...it will be a 4 hour and 15 minute jaunt and a fairly mundane 275 meters of climbing, with most of that coming early...
