While most of the Bruce Trail is again open, there are still some sections closed in Grey-Bruce, including some lengthy stretches on the Bruce Peninsula.
The Bruce Trail Conservancy has announced the gradual reopening of the trail in recent weeks after it closed down in April as public health measures took effect to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
But while much of the 900-kilometre trail from Niagara to Tobermory has since reopened, there are numerous stretches that remain closed.
In the Bruce Peninsula section, which runs from Wiarton to Tobermory, much of the Bruce Peninsula National Park remains closed and the Bruce Trail is closed from Little Cove to Crane Lake.
The sections of the Bruce Trail within the boundaries of Neyaashiinigmiing also remained closed as of Wednesday.
The closures include the main trail sections that cross the Chippewas of Nawash lands at Cape Croker plus side trails. A detour around the closed sections has been established using side trails and an unmarked detour along nearby Pitt Road and McIver Road.

On Monday, the chief and council of Neyaashiinigmiing, in consultation with the Nawash Health Centre, extended its emergency closure of non-essential Chippewas of Nawash programs until the end of June. The Province of Ontario recently extended its state of emergency until June 19.
Chippewas of Nawash Chief Greg Nadjiwon said Wednesday that council regularly meets and the situation could change, but they are doing their due diligence and COVID-19 remains a serious health risk.
Nadjiwon said the Bruce Trail remains closed because it runs into a park at Cape Croker which also remains closed.
“That trail runs into the park and one does marry up with the other,” said Nadjiwon. “We have to be consistent in the messaging.”
In a statement from council on the extension of the emergency closure, it said there is further work to be done to physically prepare work spaces for the return of employees and customers, and also in drafting new workplace protocols that will allow colleagues and clients to interact with a minimum risk of disease transmission.
“These are important steps that we must get right the first time,” the statement said.
“We have been extremely fortunate in not having identified any positive COVID-19 cases in the community.”
The only other section of the Bruce Trail in Grey-Bruce that remains closed is a small stretch of trail on private land west of Walters Falls located in the Sydenham section.
No closures are being reported in the Blue Mountains section of the trail, which runs from the communities of Lavender to Craigleith, or the Beaver Valley section from Craigleith to Blantyre.
