Area 8 is the newest recreational space to join the Halton Conservation Parks. It is so new that they are just opening it up on weekends to visit, despite having held a few events there, such as yoga. The hiking trail does not have a name and loops around the quarry and would likely rate 1, as it is approximately 2 km.
It has three lookout spots and a fire pit with a picnic table if you want to stop for a bite to eat before you head home. You’ll see some excellent views of the water and the surrounding escarpment. The water looks beautiful turquoise in certain lights and angles and is worth checking out. You may even spot a grey tree frog or sharp-shinned hawk on your hike.
