It's decision time! If you're section-hiking the Bruce Trail, you'll want to continue either west or north. In the latter case, the trail crosses 4th Line EHS and continues onward. Or, you can turn south or west, depending on which of those two directions you're coming from, to turn your hike into a loop.

The Sheldon J. Anderson Forest, also known as the Anderson Tract, is a beautiful woodland and can be explored at all times of the year. In fall the trees turn orange, yellow, and red, and in winter the area is popular for winter hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Summer is the warmest time to visit, of course, and the most lush. Among the thick forest, there is also a cluster of sand dunes.

Hockley Heights Side Trail is open to hiking, but not biking. It is a side trail of the Bruce Trail and connects to other trails in the Sheldon J. Anderson Forest. The rolling hills the Hockley Heights Side Trail passes over create descents and climbs that will get your heart rate up but are not too strenuous. Most of the trail is in thick forest, creating plenty of cool shade.
