Trail use during winter months
Exploring local trails is great exercise, creates a connection to nature, and is fun for all ages. Wile trails are open year-round, they are not maintained during the winter. It is possible for slippery snow and ice to accumulate, so we recommend preparing for the outdoors with proper footwear (consider slip-on ice grips) and warm clothing.
New trail connection at Maple Creek Parkette
The Hungry Hollow - Maple Creek extension is an important connection providing residents of southeast Georgetown direct access across Silver Creek to the existing trail network. The completion of the project adds approximately 800 m of trail, bringing the total Hungry Hollow Trail network up to 6.3 km. See below for the location of the new connection:

Benefits of hiking
Hiking is an activity that everyone can enjoy regardless of fitness level. A regular brisk walking routine can greatly reduce your chances of heart problems and offers numerous benefits including muscle strength, bone density, improved circulation, weight loss and lowering blood pressure. In addition, walking together as a social activity gives us quality time and critical social connection in our lives, be it with friends or family.
Teaching the next generation about nature and wildlife is also an important aspect of local trails. Kids will marvel and delight at seeing new plants and animals on the trail, as well as traversing bridges and stopping at scenic lookouts.
