Old Baldy LbNA #15160

Old Baldy Conservation Area follows a section of the Bruce Trail to stunning lookouts over the Beaver Valley. Give yourself 20 minutes each way to and from the letterbox. The trail extends past the lookouts if you are interested in longer hikes. A good walking stick may be helpful over uneven terrain (several are usually left at the trail head). This trail not recommended for very young kids or pets, as the cliffs are sheer and the trail follows the escarpment edge closely in places. Also note the roads are not maintained in winter, this is a 3-season accessible letterbox location.

Here is a link to get to Old Baldy Conservation area http://www.greysauble.on.ca/ca-oldbaldy4.html. On the steep road up, when you get a fork in the road, keep to the right, this takes you directly into the parking area. Follow the gravel trail into the forested area, carpeted in late May with trillium, trout lily, spring beauty and jack-in-the-pulpit (if you look carefully). The path is well marked with white painted rectangles on the trees. The first lookout area has a memorial plaque to Larry Mogg. After taking in the view, continue along the trail to the second overlook of the valley. Just past the second lookout, the path drops down a bit, before beginning to climb again slightly. Look under the edge of the large rock to your right, at the lowest point.
