Lion’s Head Provincial Park

July 2, 2022

Spend a day with ActiveDays’ trip to Lion’s Head Provincial Park

Lion’s Head name comes from its rock formation that; from a distance resembles the profile of a lion. The cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment, including those at Lion’s Head, are one of the most well protected forest ecosystems in North America. This destination includes - forest trails including a lookout point viewing the Georgian Bay!

If you stick with the group for the day you’ll have a relaxing mix of hiking with scenic views and good times. Also, participants are free to venture on their own with the responsibility to return to the group in time for the bus departure!

Trail Difficulty: Challenging. This hike takes place fully along the escarpment. Lots of rocks, ups and downs and moments when you need to use your hands to help climb up. If you’re uncertain as to whether this is the right fit for you, please reach out before booking.

**When booking you MUST select July 2 for both ways of the trip! please indicate in the notes that you’ll be joining as part of ActiveDays!

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.

Active Days is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

All ActiveDays participants are required to sign a waiver. We will bring printed copies of the waiver to sign on the bus. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
