Bob McMullen Linear Trail in Preston (Cambridge)

This will be an out and back walk along the Speed River from where it meets the Grand River at Settlers Fork Park. Approx distance is 6 km and then another 6 km return to our cars at approx. 4 pm. Total distance, 12 km. The trail takes us past early industrial sites. Bring your binoculars to view birds on the river.

Meet at 1:30 pm in the parking lot, located at the corner of Hamilton St and Bishop St. (43.388304, -80.348584)  There is room for approx. 5 cars in the parking lot at the trailhead (which is tucked in beside the current construction site for the new auditorium). You can also park along Hamilton St. (Note: There is another trailhead at Hamilton St. and Chopin Dr. so be sure to find us at the Bishop St. trailhead.)

Easy pace, Level 1. Bring water & snacks. No restrooms available.

Option to shuttle your car to the Chopin Dr. trailhead, so you can drive home from there rather than walk another 6.5 km back.

Option to carpool to trailhead with hike leader.
