    Limehouse Conservation Area
    Amanda P.

    This gorgeous area is part of the Bruce Trail. It looks like something out of a fantasy film. This part of the trail is not for people who have difficulty walking or need wheelchair accessibility. I suppose this is obvious as this is a walking trail but there are times when you need to hop over fissures in the escarpment rock and climb down steep ladders. The Limehouse Conservation Area features remnants of the lime industry such as kilns and a powderhouse which make for an interesting hike. We went on a rainy day which made the ground a little slippery. The trail can be dangerous if you fall so I'd recommend proper footwear and heading to this section on a sunny day. Bring your camera!

    BONUS: There's no entrance/parking fees here! And it never seems to get really that busy. We plugged in this address on the GPS and it was still a bit tricky to find. However, there are a couple of entrances, different "lots", and some parking on the side of the street, so that is good. Not ideal for dogs/kids UNLESS you have control of them. There are a lot of crevices, a.k.a. "caves", so if you let your dogs/children out of your sight, they can get hurt. Definitely not recommended for strollers as the terrain isn't flat, there are rocks, roots, & descents. Not good during the Winter time. Limehouse is idea for people who like to explore and are a bit adventurous. If you aren't as adventurous, just skip the crevices, although that is a large part of the draw here. Another draw are the abandoned kilns from preparing the limestone, way back when, but they look like brick pizza ovens. There are a couple of loops here, including part of the Bruce Trail, so you can spend quite a bit of time hiking. Great place to head to on a nice day!

    I went hiking here with my boyfriend and I really enjoyed the time I had. Unfortunately we went around seven pm and the night was creeping up on us so we did not have time to explore the entire area. We will be back! There were lots of mosquito's, so be prepared and bring sunscreen AND bug spray. I did not actually get to see the lime house because we got lost and went in the wrong direction, oops. However, the area is beautiful with lots of foliage and adventures for your hike (bridges, ladders and streams, oh my!). I will be back to finish my hike in the fall and I am really excited to return to this area! Friendly tip: Don't bring your dog or small children because as Amanda P stated this hiking area can be strenuous with the gaps and steep areas on the cliffs.

    Caledon Trailway - Brickworks along the trail

    We were staying in Brampton, and we were looking for a trail to ride our bikes on. I was looking at…read morethe Peel bike website, and saw this long squiggle across the foot of the escarpment. I suggested doing this trail to Lee, and we drove to the start in Terra Cotta and off we went. There are a variety of surfaces to this trail, mostly crushed stone, sometimes dirt, and occasionally paved. It winds through the countryside, past an abandoned brick factory, through farmlands, suburbs, and forests, as well as a downtown tourist area. If you've ever driven along Highway 10 towards Orangeville, you have seen the blue arched bridge of the trail path. It's part of the Trans Canada Trail, and one of the pavilions is located near Caledon East. The trail is gentle and mostly flat, although there are a couple of road crossings that are steep, probably because a railroad trestle was removed at some point. There's a lot of opportunities for nature watching, particularly because the trail goes through several nature preserves. I saw quite a few chippies and squirrels, as well as orioles, jays and other birds. I only have a couple of complaints: one is that although there are frequent trash cans along the trail, in a couple of places they were overflowing with garbage, implying that it had been a very long time since it had been cleaned up. This was pretty yucky in my opinion, a bit of a disappointment. The other complaint was that part of the trail was shut down for maintenance/construction, but there were no signs directing cyclists to a detour. We ended up doing what most people were doing: cutting through the fence and going through the construction site. Other than these quibbles, it's a great trail that you should check out if you're in the area.

    @ontrails #YELPGTA #THEGREATTRAIL #INGLEWOOD #TRANSCANADATRAIL…read more You can access this trail via a lot of points - it's actually the first registered section of the Trans Canada Trail. We accessed it through a frail yet charming town of Inglewood, right off of McLaughlin Road. To those staying in Mississauga and Brampton, you can basically take the road straight down to the trail. Apparently, it isn't a hidden secret and tons of people know about this trail. We went at 7 am and saw a few bikers and some walkers. We hiked down with Caesar (my doggo) and it was serene and empty enough that I could let him off leash. We covered about 10km (past hwy 10 and then back). It's an easy hike as the land is pretty flat, a few ups and downs here and there but nothing too rough. It was mostly pebbled path with trees on both sides and some streams of water that Caesar was so KEEN on jumping into. There were 2 concrete bridges we crossed over - all in all it was a great morning walk with the dog. I highly recommend this place.
