fees to even walk in, deer hunting here
April 14, 2014Be careful not to go here when they allow deer hunting, very disconcerting to think that hunting is allowed in a conservation area. What does the definition of conservation mean to Hamilton if hunting is allowed? Check Hamilton Spectator archives to see that humans have been killed by so called hunting accidents in Hamilton near conservation areas. Not my idea... more

Great Getaway on the Rail Trail
April 12, 2014We took a walk on the Rail Trail the other day, just because it was nice to finally be able to get out of the house and enjoy the warm(er) weather. Parking was available, just off highway 52, South of Copetown, and just south of Governor's Road. We walked for a few kilometers East, back towards the trail head, near... more

Beautiful views, falls and trails
October 03, 2013
If possible, do the complete trail. Visit the falls, the lookouts and go all the way to the end.
You will find gorgeous views of the valleys and waterfalls and they are all fairly close to each other, so no time to get bored.
Unless you are into climbing, stay on the general path. Side trails can be very steep!

dodge the bullets...the idiots allow hunting here
October 02, 2013yes, they really do allow hunting. Only aboriginal people of course, because they don't really want hunting and they are cowardly idiots who don't know how to run a conservation area, but they do let them hunt where kids play, and there is cycling, hiking, horseback riding etc. What a bunch of dummies running this place.

Lots of variety and trails to hike
August 05, 2013I like the size and space in Dundas valley. Lots of trails to select from. The bruce trail is beautiful. Good mountain biking. However, cross country skiing in the winter is not too good.

Classical hiking and biking
August 03, 2013I have run and biked in "The Valley" for 30 years. Just got back from a 60 km bike on a rail trail that goes through the middle. There are nearly infinite trail combinations ranging from easy to moderate intensity with a variety of forest/field combinations. Several of the trails are wheelchair/stroller accessible. The Niagara escarpment goes through the area... more

Keep discovering
July 16, 2013We have lived in the area for a year and are still discovering new trails and different areas to hike and bike. The Rail Trail is a great biking path, mostly flat, miles of no cars, scenic views, shady trails for these hot days. Great for family biking or novice bikers. And walking or jogging as well. Many waterfalls in... more

Beautiful Park Trails
June 07, 2013Although it can get busy on weekends in the warm weather, the trails are lovely and well maintained. I've gone several times for long hikes. Its a great place for taking pictures, during any season.

Great walk with lots of diversity
June 06, 2013This is a great walk/bike to do with your family. It is a multi-use trail so biking is included. The kids love it with all the bridges and hills. Please remember to keep your dog on a leash though - not everyone likes having a dog run up to them and there is an over population of deer (which it... more

On the... more

a hidden gem
April 08, 2013Still technically part of the city of Hamilton, it is shocking to have such amazing woods, trails, activities and wildlife. This is a multi-use trail system, so hikers, meanderers, horsey people, mountain bikers and leisure cyclists all share the same trails, but it works. There are a lot of hills, which is great for anyone who wants a workout, but... more
