Went after lunch was pretty nice one but if you don’t do Rick climbing the entry fee is not worth it as $12 before tax per person. It’s only a walking trail. Plenty of paid parking they accept debit only. The view is great and there were ticks be careful. I would recommend to bring lunch and enjoy the trail as it’s 10 km trail and unfortunately it’s not a loop so you have to come back in same route. Overall nice trail. Second time here.

Beautiful! Nice wide trails with many great viewpoints and a unique stairwell down the escarpment wall where you can explore and scramble/walk over rough and rocky pathways or rock climb with your gear. A very different Ontario hiking experience with all the rock that surrounds you. If you've never really been up close to the escarpment this piece is sure to impress!

I love coming to this trail all-year round! Located along the Bruce Trail, there are plenty of side trails for every level of hiking. It isn’t too far away from Toronto, but it is well-worth the drive. You are rewarded with beautiful views across the Nassagaweya Canyon, where you can spot Turkey Vultures flying above. We hiked from Rattlesnake Point to Crawford Lake (and back), which was a 10+km hike and moderate difficulty.

Rattlesnake Point located in Milton is one of the well known conservation parks in Ontario. Best time to visit is during spring but just before winter is good too. Various species of flowers blooming and changing colors is a great attraction and treat to eyes and mind. When it comes to hiking and walking, there are 4 trails with good instructions and directions. Crawford lake, Hilton Falls and Rattlesnake Point are known visits in the park. We did the Bruce Trail and enjoyed the overall trail, and a small stream with clear water. Rock climbing is another adventure sport available here. Overall had a great experience, good walk, wonderful sceneries, took some good pictures is the nature. Weather was pleasant but mild cold.
