As homebuilders who have developed communities across the Greater Toronto Area, we know that trails, green spaces, and other natural features of the area are a huge part of the appeal for our buyers. That’s why, to celebrate the last warm days of summer and to ring in the colours of the fall, we’ve put together a list of the most picturesque walking trails and conservation areas near some of our communities. Even if you don’t live nearby, they’re worth the trip.
Belfountain Conservation Area
Belfountain Conservation Area trail is a tranquil conservation area nestled within Caledon. This natural gem offers visitors a serene escape into lush woodlands and scenic landscapes. The main attraction is the Belfountain Falls, a cascading waterfall you can view from the nearby suspension bridge.
Scarborough Bluffs
The Scarborough Bluffs are a stunning outlook on the shores of Lake Ontario. These cliffs are carved by the forces of wind and water erosion over thousands of years, creating breathtaking views of the city.
Cambridge To Paris Trail
The Cambridge to Paris Trail is an old railway line turned multi-use trail that follows the Grand River, connecting the vibrant city of Cambridge to the charming town of Paris. The trail is paved over levelled ground, so hikers and bikers can glide through easily.
Dundas Peak Trail
The Dundas Peak Trail is a well-maintained path through the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area in the Hamilton region. After passing through forests and rocky terrain, the highlight of the trail is the picturesque Dundas Peak, an incredible view that overlooks the Niagara Escarpment, valleys, and Spencer Creek. This spot is especially popular during the fall season for its colourful foliage.
Heart Lake Conservation Area
The Heart Lake Conservation Area is a natural preserve in Brampton. It gets its name from the heart-shaped lake in the centre surrounded by lush woodlands, rolling hills and scenic trails. The park offers a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking and picnicking to fishing and swimming, along with Tree Top Trekking.
