Getting there: Travel south from Collingwood through Duntroon on Simcoe County Road 124. Just before Singhampton, turn left on Mill Town Rd., then immediately left onto Ewing Rd. Follow Ewing to 17/18 Sdrd. and turn left. Stay on the gravel road as it winds into Nottawasaga Concession 10 and then winds to Sideroad 15/16. Watch for the parking lot on your right.
Parking:Hikers have a choice of two parking lots, both of which are plowed in the winter. The original parking lot is at the trailhead. It has limited parking spaces. The new parking lot can accommodate up to 20 cars. It is located west of the original trailhead on the south side of 15/16th Sideroad. This parking lot has a new washroom building but it is currently closed for the winter season. A new trailhead connects this parking lot to the Ian Lang Memorial Trail. Daily parking is $10.
Terrain:The trail is mainly flat.
Place to Eat/Drink:In Singhampton, visit Mylar & Loretta’s Restaurant. Mylar and Loreta’s has been serving the Singhampton community and surrounding area for more than 35 years. Opened in 1985 by Sandra Hamilton, she transformed the Hampton House, as it was then known, into the dining establishment it is today. The historic building, built in the 1850s, has had many lives. A hotel stagecoach, a grocery store, a lumber and farm supply store, a private residence, to finally become a restaurant. Grey Road 124, Singhampton
