We did this little hike during the winter thaw. It was beautiful. The moss growing in the area was so vibrantly green. Felt more like a movie scene than a real nature walk because it was almost electric green. The sign has lost it's paper so make sure to take the trail with a sign that has nothing on it... More

The main cave is roughly 30 x 40 feet and 20 feet high. It's above ground and there is a crevice at the right rear that enables you to climb/ walk around to the front. Great hiking in the area. No admittance charge.

Very nice hike in and the caves were amazing. Beautiful scenery. I love how the trees grow out of the rocks.

The caves are an interesting feature. However, the conservation area has become too popular. It used to be scenic and quiet with wild flowers. Now it is packed with people and noise and litter.

Tons of fun to explore! You can climb as much as you want so this is a great caving area for beginners to intermediate.

This is a cave that was created millions of years ago when this area was a salt water Sea. A great place for the whole family to look for sea fossils.

We visit here several times a year as it is different in every season. A relatively short (10 mins) hike will get you to some pretty cool caves where you can spend lots of time scrambling. A good spot for kids and pretty tame hiking trail. You can also connect to the Bruce Trail here for longer hikes.
