Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve

Absolutely beautiful, hard to believe this is only minutes from a small city. Trails are natural, well marked, and well maintained. Steep at times - so bring your hiking shoes. The trail cuts across as series of valleys, some with rivers at the bottom (with small wooden bridges). The side trails are as nice as the main one and tend to follow peaks or valleys (one with a small stream beside the trail). You can spend some time here - walked a good clip for 3 hours and only covered 2/3 of the trails.

Its south trails are easy-medium challenging due to the fairly steps hills slopes. It also has quite easy trails on the north side. It is quite scenic but probably best during the summer and autumn seasons. I chose spring because I wanted strong currents along the Nottawasaga River. I also visited Canning Falls and provided a review of those falls as well.

Great hiking! Users need to pick up after themselves however.
