What we’re about
Welcome to the Grand Valley Trails Hiking Meetup group!
The Grand Valley Trails Association (GVTA) builds and maintains hiking trails in the Grand River valley. We promote year-round hiking, on the Grand Valley Trail and on other trails in the area. If you love exploring the outdoors through walking and hiking, then this is the group for you! We offer a variety of walks and hikes for outdoor enthusiasts of all experience levels. Guided hikes are organized several times a month and are posted on https://www.gvta.on.ca/HikesEvents.htm. The hikes are led by certified hike leaders with first aid training. Let’s lace up our boots, meet like-minded individuals, and hit the trails together!

We'll explore the trails at Preservation Park, hiking a loop that takes us through cedar and hardwood forests, meadows, streams, and some fabulous boardwalks. After crossing under Highway 6, we'll visit the regenerating landscape of Kortright Hills Park before completing our first loop. Then, we'll head back through Hanlon Creek Park on a shorter second loop, returning to our starting point.
