Caledon
Caledon features the picturesque Forks of the Credit, the Devil’s Pulpit, Palgrave, Belfountain, the Cheltenham Badlands and more. Cliffs, rivers, moraines and small villages, Caledon has it all.

Halton

Dufferin
Dufferin is the high county that extends from Orangeville into the Hockley Valley, Mono Cliffs Park and the hills of Mulmur. More remote, Dufferin’s deeply incised hills offer some of the best hiking in Southern Ontario.

Hamilton and Brant County offer hikes to dozens of waterfalls and a whole lot more. There’s picturesque Paris, the Six Nations First Nation, the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Grand River and some of the most beautiful sections of the Niagara Escarpment.

Waterloo, Wellington & Guelph
Waterloo, Wellington & Guelph offer culturally rich hikes in an area where Octoberfest competes with horse-drawn buggies for your attention. Its largely flat trails cross rich agricultural land and follow pastoral rivers. You’ll pass through historic towns.

Collingwood, the Blue Mountains & Beaver Valley
Collingwood, the Blue Mountains & Beaver Valley combine the mighty Niagara Escarpment’s loftiest heights with a plethora of robust rivers that drain into the expansive blue of Georgian Bay.
