Hamilton Conservation Authority:

Valens Lake offers an excellent winter camping experience in its pine and spruce forest. Sites are available for tenters and RV users as are hydro hook-ups, heated washrooms and showers. When conditions are suitable, visitors may enjoy ice-skating and 10 kilometers of groomed trails, good for cross-country skiing and winter hiking. Valens Lake is located on Regional Road 97 in Flamborough. For more information or to reserve sites and huts, call 905-525-2183 or 519-621-6029 or email valens@conservationhamilton.ca

Christie Lake on Highway 5 in Flamborough also offers 10 kilometers of trails. Cross-country skiing is particularly popular when weather and trail conditions permit. For more information about Christie, call 905-628-3060 or e-mail christie@conservationhamilton.ca.

When conditions are suitable, the Dundas Valley Conservation Area is a cross-country skier's dream. The valley's 40-kilometre trail system offers a challenging mix of terrain for the more experienced skier. Those looking for more moderate conditions may try the smooth, level surface of the Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail which runs through the valley.


There's also Binbrook Conservation Area located about 20 minutes' drive south of the Linc/Red Hill elbow.

You might also consider Conservation Halton's XC ski trails. Unfortunately, Crawford Lake and Mountsberg trails are closed but Rattlesnake Point is open.
