Homer Watson Park Plus
... an 11 km loop
Special Message (Covid-19 Virus)
This loop walk was done by us (a couple) during the Covid-19 restrictions to avoid parking a car in a small trail head parking lot. It was not done by a group of people. We parked in a larger parking lot near MEC in Kitchener. The walk started and finished at that location. We started early in the morning. During the walk we met very few people and kept the "physical distance". After we finished we had the oportunity to pick up a few groceries at Food Basics and maybe a treat at Cob Bread and Bakery (43.418556, -80.452194).

What the Blazes
If you choose the walk on this web page, you may not be familiar with how some trails are marked (signed). In the diagram below, the white rectangles are called blazes. Some trails (e.g. Bruce Trail) are marked using such blazes (2" x 6"). The blazes are usually painted on trees, posts and so on. Become familiar with the meaning of each blaze type.
