Forks of the Credit Provincial Park is part of the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve.
The park features the excitement of the Credit River, as it narrows and rushes through a deep gorge, plunging over a falls. Geological features that were deposited or carved out by retreating glaciers,such as kame hills and kettle lakes, surround the river. Trails also lead to picturesques Belfountain Conservation Area.
This hke covers varied terrain: flat meadows, rolling hills, steep climbs, roadwalk, staircases! It is suitable for different levels of fitness as there is at least one drop-out point (2.5) but keep in mind the terrain.
Optional social outing afterward: Ice cream in Belfountain and/or pub stop in
