HIKE GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Point of interests

This hike follows the escarpment edge with panoramic views and visits Forty Mile Creek’s upper and lower Beamer Falls. It also includes descending stairs to the creek’s edge at the beginning of the Iroquoia Section of the Bruce Trail. 

The ET&T Revisited series offers hikes that follow local trails that a group of hikers compiled into a guide book titled “Escarpment Trails and Treks: Two-Hour Hikes in Halton, Hamilton and Niagara”. These hikes are ideal for getting to know local trails in only 2-3 hours and all in close proximity to your home in Halton, Hamilton and Niagara Region, Southern Ontario.
