CREDIT VALLEY FOOTPATH
About
Following the gentle curves of the Credit River, the Credit Valley Footpath stretches across parts of both Halton and Peel Regions. With parts of the trail intersecting with the historic Bruce Trail, you can hike this beautiful passage straight through to Terra Cotta Conservation Area and beyond.
The mature forest canopy contains both deciduous and coniferous ecosystems along with stretches of open marshy lowlands. The Credit Valley Footpath also helps connect hikers to the ancestral home of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, guardians of the Credit River lands.
