Mount Nemo Conservation Area
Greenbelt Walks: The Trails
GB Walk | 03
Greenbelt Walks on the Bruce Trail
Go for a walk in the woods at beautiful Mount Nemo!
Ontario’s Greenbelt
Towering high above the surrounding landscape, Mount Nemo is an oasis of soaring cliffs and deep crevices hosting lush ferns and mosses. Eastern White Cedars – some more than 1,000 years old – cling to cracks in the limestone cliffs. Mount Nemo boosts one of the best cliff ecosystems on Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment. This pre-settlement forest is the oldest, least disturbed forest in eastern North America. About the trail: From the Mount Nemo Conservation Area parking lot, follow the main Bruce Trail east along an old quarry road. Watch for the white blazes (trail markers) as the Trail swings north (left) to reach the Escarpment edge. After about one kilometer you will reach a raised observation platform. Here you will be rewarded with sweeping and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. From here the blueblazed Mount Nemo Side Trail heads south to return to the parking lot. Trail Distance: 3.2 km

How to Get There The Mount Nemo Conservation Area is located north of Burlington on Guelph Line, just south of the hamlet of Lowville. Follow the Greenbelt Walks road signs at the intersection of Guelph Line and Colling Road.
Ontario’s Greenbelt is the solution for fresh air, clean water, healthy local food, and a thriving economy with good jobs. At more than 1.8 million acres, it’s the world’s largest permanently protected greenbelt, keeping our farmlands, forests, wetlands safe and sustainable. The Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation works to help keep farmers successful, strengthen local economies, and protect and grow natural features. To learn more, visit: greenbelt.ca

The Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest and longest footpath, provides the only continuous public access to the magnificent Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The Bruce Trail Conservancy is a charitable organization committed to establishing a conservation corridor containing a public footpath along the Niagara Escarpment, in order to protect its natural ecosystems and to promote environmentally responsible public access.

How your food choices make a difference
7
The Greenbelt produces fresh air. In fact its forested area alone can offset the equivalent of 27 million cars driven over one year.
8
On average, food travels about 2,500 km before it reaches our plates. Greenbelt-grown food travels less than 250 km. By eating locally grown produce, we reduce the amount of air pollution that contributes to global climate change and smog.
9
Every $1 spent on local food generates more than $4 for other local businesses! The sale of a litre of Ontario wine adds $3.88 in value to the Ontario economy compare to $0.46 from the sale of an imported wine.
Farming is an important part of Ontario’s Greenbelt. By providing us with fresh, local food, farmers help keep our communities healthy and our economy strong. Get more local food onto your table—visit a farmers’ market, meet a Greenbelt farmer, and be a part of the community! *This list is only a fraction of all the great Farmers’ Markets found in and around the Greenbelt, where fresh, local food is available.
For a complete listing of more than 100 farmers’ markets in the Greenbelt, as well as on-farm markets and CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture), visit greenbeltfresh.ca.
