Conservation Trail Ethics
Trails are routed to protect neighbouring environmentally sensitive areas. Trail routes are selected to mitigate damage to animal and plant species.
Please stay on trails and do not cut new trails.
The cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment can be hazardous and quite slippery when wet. Please be careful when hiking the trails at Rattlesnake Point. Dogs must be on a 2 metre leash at all times.
Please do not go too close to the cliffs or climb over the lookout walls. Beware of climbers below. For their safety, do not throw objects over cliff.
Big Adventures
The Nassagaweya Canyon Trail leads to Crawford Lake Conservation Area, about 3 to 4 hours is required to complete a return trip on this trail
