The Halton complex is within the Halton area, but it’s on the outskirts of Milton. It has five trails, three of which have a designated parking spot. But don’t worry, the paths are easy to follow, and if you bring a map, you’ll be fine.
The first is the Currie Forest Tract; you can find the parking spot along Guelph Line. The trail is less than a kilometre long, doesn’t require reservations or payment to visit, and does allow some hunting. Next, it connects to the Mahon Tract, which is longer, half a km, but does not have a parking spot.
This connects to the Robertson Tract, which you can enter and park at from Fourth Line, and which runs around 3 km long. The trail is relatively flat with some rock formations, ultimately easy enough for the inexperienced hiker or those with small children.
From the Robertson Tract, you can connect to the Britton Tract. The Briton Tract has two parking spots on Sixth Line and is a 4.5 km loop. If you are a bird enthusiast or love pockets of water to admire, this is a great hiking trail to get lost in.
Lastly is the Cox Tract, a shorter trail that also runs off of Sixth Line but to which you cannot connect directly from the Briton Tract. Remember that you will run into bikers along all of these trails. There are no restrictions, and remember, all dogs must be leashed.
