“Devil’s Glen rests on the Manitoulin Bedrock Ledge, the site of a glacial meltwater channel that flowed along the edge of the escarpment,” states the site.

“The gorge, carved by the Mad River spreads as far as your eye can see. The upper rim along the gorge is lined by Silurian Amabel dolomite cap rock, a form of limestone.”

Though the journey is truly rewarding with scenic views, you can bask in its beauty on the platform before embarking on the trail.

Here you can see the entire valley, and see as stunning greenery takes over the lower walls of the Niagara Escarpment, per the OTC.

In terms of distance, according to the Southern Georgian Bay website, it’s about 9.8 km long and is considered a moderate trail.

Make sure you have your hiking boots on and get ready for an adventure worth your while.

Take advantage of this lovely summer weather and explore the outdoors!
