Event Details:

Join the Oak Ridges Trail Association (ORTA) on their guided walks and hikes across the top end of the GTA from Palgrave to Ganaraska and beyond. Enjoy fresh air, meet new friends, energize your body all while getting your steps in!   ORTA offers multiple group hikes and walks each week which continue throughout all four seasons. Our group hikes are available in varying levels of difficulty, speed, distance and terrain. All are led by experienced volunteer hike leaders, each certified in hike leader training and first aid.

Non ORTA members may join a limited number of hikes as a guest, with the permission of the hiker leader and upon signing the required waivers. Visit our website, oakridgestrail.org, to see the FAQ section for more information regarding guest registration.
