We left the Iroquois Community Centre at 8:15 and drove to the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park to drop off a car.  We then drove to Olde Base Line and Credit Valley  to park the other 2 cars.

Starting the Hike

We walked for about 300 metres along Olde Base Line to the start of the hike and climbed the stile to enter the trail.  We dropped into a valley and crossed a tributary of the Credit River crossing several boardwalks and passed the bad lands to Chinguacousy Rd.  We followed the trail to the Devil's Pulpit where it descends steeply on steps cut into the rock face.  We continued the descent to Chisholm Street, the Forks of Credit River Rd and entered Dominion Street.

We followed the Forks of the Credit Rd to the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park.  We stropped at the Quarryman's Side Trail for a lunch break along the river.  We continued upstream, crossing two bridges to the rim of the valley to the park's Meadow Trail at km 14.1.  We took the Meadow Trail back to the car park passing the Kettle Lake.

After the hike we all stopped at a restaurant for coffee to settle the finances and to discuss future hikes.
