This hike, if you choose to accept it, can be done as an all day, 34K power
hike or divided up into smaller, more leisurely chunks.The premise of this hike
was to get from the Hilton Falls area to the Limehouse and back using, as much
as possible, separate trails for the inbound and outbound journeys.
This hike travels across a variety of terrain, from the rocky, rolling paths
of the Hilton Falls Side Trail to paths alongside cornfields to several roadside
segments. The are few, if any, substantial hills encountered along any of these
trails so the only physical challenge you will face is the distance, which is
approximately 34km.

Trailmaps
There are a number of places to start this hike. I parked at a small parking
area on 6th Line, just north of the spot I use for the other Hilton
Falls hike. There are many other places you can use as the starting point;
the attached file includes waypoints for several other spots.
The color track lines on this map show the hike segments.
The green line is the section of the Bruce
Trail from Limehouse to the north terminus of the Hilton Falls Side
Trail.
The blue lines are the various side trails:
Hilton Falls Side Trail, Venderleck Side Trail, and Black Creek Side
Trail.
Using ExpertGPS or Panterra you can assemble these route segments into
the desired hike. The track log file also contains a single track of the
entire hike, beginning to end, in case you want to follow the same route
I did. The gpx file also contains waypoints marking the beginning and
ending of trails as well as major trail features and intersections.
