As you explore our trails, you will cover a range of geographical features, including the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Niagara Escarpment. Take in the beauty of nature and the picturesque setting of our parks. Enjoy a leisurely stroll or challenge yourself to a rugged hike.

Some trails have limited activity use so please follow park guidelines for trail use.

Trail Etiquette:

  • Please stay on designated trails. Don’t go off trails. For your safety and to protect soil from erosion do not take shortcuts.
  • Respect the sounds of nature. Avoid using loud voices and creating noise from mobile phones and music.
  • Be predictable and travel consistently so other trail users know what to expect. Always look behind before changing positions on a trail.
  • Don’t block trails. Please stay within your own half-width of a trail.
  • Cyclists must yield to pedestrians. If a pathway is busy with pedestrians, consider walking instead of cycling. Dismount when meeting pedestrians on narrow bridges at Island Lake CA.
  • Be cautious. All boardwalks are slippery when wet.
  • Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach wild animals.
  • Never feed wildlife. Feeding animals in the wild damages their health and alters natural behaviours.
  • We have garbage and recycling stations throughout each conservation area. Please use them and don’t litter.
