Beautiful wooded trail overlooking the cityscape of Hamilton. This scenic 2.7 kilometre path is part of the Bruce Trail and passes by the rolling green hills of the Chedoke Golf Club course off Aberdeen Avenue. It's a popular meeting point, not only for hikers, joggers and cyclists, but for those looking to push themselves by climbing the steep Chedoke Stairs (all 280 of them) that connect the lower city to the west mountain at the top of the escarpment.

This Hamilton Conservation area is basically a giant year-round outdoor playground with 10 kilometres of gorgeous hiking trails through meadows and towering pine forests. There’s also a great mountain bike single-track trail that cuts through the forest. Rowboats, canoes and kayaks are available for rent.
