Halton Hill Conservation Area

Halton Hill Conservation area is in the Escarpment Area near Milton.  There is a slight climb up into the escarpment and then most of the trail is at that level.  Points of interest include a water fall, the ruins of a mill and a beaver pond on 16 Mile Creek

Most of the trails are wide and smooth, however some areas are very rocky and caution needs to be exercised.







There is a fee to enter the Conservation Area so I recommend this as a day trip.  Pack a lunch and plan about 3 or 4 hours of hiking.  There are plenty of trails to keep you busy all day!


A good description of the area and a trail map can be found at http://www.haltonhikes.ca/haltonO6hiltonfalls.html
They also sell maps at the park store.

I would have been happier if I had my hiking stick especially for some parts of the Beaver Dam Trail
