Explore the Wild with Our New Wild Wanderers Family Hike Adventure!
At Birth & Body, we're thrilled to introduce our latest outdoor experience—Wild Wanderers Family Hike Adventure! This brand new class, led by Lexi, is designed to offer families an exciting way to connect with nature while enjoying quality time together. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for this fun-filled day in Killarney, Ontario.
Discover the Lighthouse Trail
Our adventure takes us to the beautiful Lighthouse Trail in Killarney. This 4.5 km trail, rated as easy to moderate, winds through a diverse forest of pine, red maple, and spruce, leading us over pink granite rocks and along the rugged coastline of Georgian Bay. One of the highlights of this trail is reaching the East Lighthouse, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of Georgian Bay, Manitoulin Island, and the bustling Killarney Channel.
What to Expect on the Trail
While the Lighthouse Trail is accessible to most, it’s important to be prepared. The terrain includes some rocky sections, particularly near the waterfront, and can be slippery after rain. For those who find the trail too challenging, there are bailout sections that allow you to shorten the hike and return to the road.
Here’s a quick checklist to help you prepare:
Snacks & Water: Bring plenty of water (1L minimum) and snacks to keep your energy up.
Clothing & Footwear: Dress for the weather and wear sturdy hiking boots or trail running shoes—no sandals! An extra layer and a waterproof jacket are recommended.
Baby Carrier: A must since these trails are NOT stroller worthy!
Backpack: Handy for carrying your essentials while keeping you hands free for your kiddos.
Safety First!
Safety is our top priority on this adventure. Please be mindful of the trail conditions and take care around roots, loose rocks, and slippery sections. I will cover safe baby wearing on the hike but please have some experience with your carrier before this hike!
Remember, this is a family hike, so pack out any trash you bring in and ensure your little ones are well-prepared for the trail.
Lunch by the Waterfront
After our hike, we’ll gather for a relaxing lunch by the waterfront. You can choose from local favorites like Herberts Fisheries, The Sportsman Inn, Killarney Mountain Lodge, or bring your own packed lunch. It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery, share stories from the hike, and refuel before heading home.
