Winter is yours to discover with this easy and beautiful hike just a stone’s throw from Toronto.
Winter brings a subtle beauty to Ontario nature. Out here, you’ll find that the trails weave gently along the Niagara Escarpment and take us high up on cliffs that give some incredible panoramic views of the surrounding area.
We'll take a trail that brings us into the Nassagaweya Canyon, through dense forest and into wide open viewpoints before winding along the Bruce Trail.
On this hike you can expect:
- Ancient old-growth cedar trees
- Sweeping panoramic views
- Dramatic rock formations
This is an easy 8.5 km with one portion of notable include and decline. We’ll hike through winding trails and along cliff edges that reveal incredible views of the surrounding countryside.
Anybody booking transport will have their access to the park included. Those self driving will need to reserve tickets and pay the $10.50 entrance fee here.
Depending on snow levels we may be required to use snowshoes or ice spikes. We have a limited quantity available that you can grab at check-out. Ice spikes are free to borrow and snow shoes can be rented for a small fee.
