mount nemo conservation area

It is a beautiful spot in which to spend a few hours. You will experience rugged beauty along the Niagara Escarpment. You will also see breathtaking views of the surrounding area, including the Toronto skyline, Lake Ontario and parts of the Niagara Peninsula. My last visit was during autumn and the fall colours were amazing.

Get your walking shoes on and enjoy soaking up the energy of nature. Good place for hikes! Not to far to drive and there are lots nooks cranny,s for children to explore

I have been to mount Nemo a number of times for the rock climbing, which is nice for the area; however, it is not set up for novice climbers.

Beautiful trail, especially in the fall. The leaves turn to a brilliant yellow with black bark, simply amazing to see. Looking out from the escarpment is breathtaking . The trail isn't bike friendly because of the deep cracks in the ground. The trail is almost too short for runners. It's a nice trail but for the fee they charge is rather go other close by trails. Don't pass this trail up, it is aust see for the great view.

This is a nice little place for those who want to get close to nature. Its a short walk to the cliff and once there it has a vantage point panaromic view of rolling country sides as well as Lake Ontario that is unparallel. Surrounded by extensive forest cover and one of the best cliff-edge ecosystems in the province.

Mount Nemo offers a wonderful short hike very close to Burlington/Hamilton. There are great views available from the top of the escarpment. I have found the last few times I have been there in the peak of summer the views are a little obstructed with some of the foliage that has grown around the lookout points, however still offers a lovely view. We go with our kids and other than advising them not to get to close to the edge I am very comfortable taking them there.

When you enter the park off of Guelph Line with your car, you have to stop at a booth to pay a small fee for the parking. Once you've parked and you start the walk, there are boards and signs that show maps of the trails and lists information that you need to know. It is a short walk to the cliff where there is a spectacular view of the Burlington countryside. There are golf clubs, houses, farms and an airport that are visible from the viewing area. Be cautious, a majority of the cliff side is not fenced and you can very easily trip and fall. Therefore, if you are visiting with young children, make sure they don't venture too close to the edge. After lounging around in the viewing area for a while, you can continue down the trail where there are many other beautiful viewing spots. There are also fallen trees that make bridges for ravines and large cracks in the cliffs. You will notice that the more you continue down the trail, the more complex and rough it gets. The trail and the view beside it are perfect for photographing. As you go on further and further, the risk of getting hurt is more and more so please hike with professional equipment and clothing to prevent injury. There are also some smaller trails that branch off from the main trail, so be aware of where you are walking. I suggest that you pick up some brochures and maps before getting on your way (provided at the entrance) because you are likely to get lost if you are not familiar with the trails and forests in the area. Overall, the experience was amazing and I highly suggest it to families, adventure-seekers and especially hikers. Just please be aware of the edge of the cliff because there is not a lot of protection to keep you from falling.

Mt Nemo is a nice quiet trail. Gorgeous scenery. It is suitable for all levels of fitness/desires...........................................

wonderful view and not always very busy. the fall view is spectacular but you can go anytime of the year and see something different every time

Wonderful hiking trails. Amazing views. Saw some Turkey vultures up close. Definitely want to go back. A great place for those who just want to go out and be surrounded by nature. No food stands, no visitors place, no gimmicks , basic toilets, unspoilt nature - just the way I like it.

I went during spring time for a hike. It is a beautiful trail with lots of trees around. Great view at the end of the trail walk.

This is one of my favorite conservation areas....the trail along the escarpment is so pretty. It's awesome. There is one spot for viewing and on a clear day you can see the CN Tower which is pretty sweet. Really love this place you can easily spend an afternoon here walking and discovering what this conservation has to offer..

Since the conservation authority collects money for the access, one would expect a bit bitter infrastructure on the trails, like signage, better path paving, toilets and garbage cans. Otherwise exciting place to visit.

This is a very popular spot along the Niagara Escarpment in Halton Region. Spectacular views of much of Halton, southern Peel and downtown Toronto are possible here, as mentioned in another review. The rugged, rocky crevices alone make this conservation area such an enjoyable place to take pictures. It is very close to both Burlington and Milton, not far from Highway 401. An excellent spot to enjoy wildlife, as well as a very beautiful landscape.

Excellent place for viewing Southern Ontario's landscape. Turkey vultures can be seen flying past you. Trails are good but there is no good place for picnicking, hardly any benches to sit down for taking rest.
