  • Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike
    Gate entrance to Mary Lake Mary Lake Eaton Hall Seneca Lake Monastery Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike The Oak Ridges Moraine gets its name from its rolling hills and river valleys extending 160 km from the Niagara Escarpment in the west to the Trent River in the east and was formed 12,000 years ago by advancing and retreating glaciers. The hiking group of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Alumni Association (Ontario) will have the next hiking trip at the west end of the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail in King City. Here the natural area trail passes through two kettle moraine lakes which have provided some of the most popular sections of the trail: Mary Lake on the former country property of Sir Henry Pellatt, the builder of Casa Loma in Toronto, and Eaton Hall Lake (aka Seneca Lake) on the former Eaton Country Estate. Starting from the Mary Lake, the trail meanders north to the 16th Sideroad and through prime southern Ontario woods, sun-dappled and bird-sung. On the way back, we will cross Keele Street and head east to the Eaton Hall, a French chateau built in the Norman style for Lady Flora McCrae Eaton in 1937, which is adjacent to the Eaton Hall Lake. Located in the headwaters of the East Humber River, Eaton Hall-Mary-Hackett W etland Complex is one of the largest and most diverse wetland complexes on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Date: August 15th, 2009 (Saturday) M eeting Place: M ary Lake M onastery visitors’ parking lot. Parking fee: Free parking on most days, but a donation of $10.00 for parking may be requested if there is other community function or church activity on the same day; Parking fee may be waived if you indicate to the attendant that you go there hiking.
