A Bit of Bruce, Grimsby Version (11/17/24)

Bob and I took Jack back to Grimsby today to walk a bit of the Bruce Trail there that is accessed on a path that runs along a home at the end of a street. We parked in Coronation Park, the same park we had visited on our first trip to Grimsby, a week or so ago.

A historical home at the corner of the street leading to the trail.
Helpful signage along the street (as well as the standard warning)
The black and white Bruce Trail marking on a No Parking sign. We accessed the trail just to the right of the White House.
Looking down into 40 Mile Creek from the trail
The creek and the trail are fairly rocky
The boys. I usually walk ahead to scout for other dogs.
More of the rocky path
Moss covered rocks
Some trees hanging onto their coats
The rocky cliff beside us
Steps up and a numbering system.
Bob and Jack stayed at the bottom of this set of stairs,
as it was fairly narrow.
A bench to rest on at the top of the stairs
And a sign for a side trail

After we came back off our short hike on the Bruce Trail, we continued on the street to the Gibson Street Bridge shown below. The sign beside the bridge provides a great history of the overall area as well as the bridge. This site was the location for the original upper bridge (built in the late 1800s), which served as a link between the base of the escarpment over 40 Mile Creek and the mills that once were established along the creek. The latest version of the bridge was built in 2022.
