Humber River Watershed

The Humber River watershed covers an area of 903 square kilometres, from the headwaters on the Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges Moraine down to Lake Ontario. The watershed provides many benefits to the people who live within it including drinking water, solace, renewal and contact with nature.

Oak Ridges Moraine

The Oak Ridges Moraine stretches as a ridge of hilly terrain for 160 kilometres from the Niagara Escarpment in the west to the headwaters of the Trent River in the east. Rain that is collected and stored in the moraine’s vast underground layers of sand and gravel, which are known as aquifers, eventually resurfaces as healthy, clean water that feeds the majority of river systems in the Greater Toronto Area.

Niagara Escarpment

The Niagara Escarpment is a land form which stretches 725 kilometers from Queenston on the Niagara River to Tobermory on the Bruce Peninsula. Over 1500 species of plants, 325 bird species, 55 animal species and 34 species of reptiles and water life have been identified within the Niagara Escarpment.

Nature Trails

Green Trail (1.36 kilometers)An old stone stair case leads trail users down into the forest valley below where animals and water life, such as frogs and fish, can be seen and heard near the Humber River tributaries.

Blue Trail (2.5 kilometers)The Blue Trail allows trail users to connect with the Fishing Ponds, the Bruce Trail and the other nature trails. At some points along the Blue Trail, you are able to peer down into the forest valley below.

Red Trail (2.7 kilometers)The longest of the nature trails, the Red Trail takes users through a variety of ecosystems including forest, wetland and open fields.Trail users are able to enjoy a spectacular look-out across the Oak Ridges Moraine and Niagara Escarpment.

Bruce Trail (4.06 kilometers)Canada’s oldest and longest footpath is managed by the Bruce Trail Association. This portion of the Bruce Trail cuts through Glen Haffy and links to the Niagara Escarpment and eventually with the Palgrave Side Trail.

Welcometo Glen Haffy Conservation Area, a beautiful natural area located within the Humber River Watershed, at the junction of Ontario’s two most dominant geological features - The Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine.

Glen Haffy Conservation Area is a 189 hectare Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) property with great hiking trails you can escape into.
