Scout Valley was once the location of two gristmills in the mid-1800s and then in the 1930s and 40s was used as a hiking and camping site for local Boy Scout groups. The property contains a variety of habitats including several areas of mature hardwoods (beech, hard maple), cedar and hemlock stands, as well as a creek flowing into Lake Simcoe. The property is also important as habitat for a variety of animals including interior forest songbirds.
This geocache will take you to the scenic meandering trail along the creek, where you will occasionally cross homemade log bridges.
Scout Valley can be accessed from three entrances:
