A Day Trip to the Hamilton Rail Trail

Published March 12th, 2023

The popular Hamilton Rail Trail is a 32 km long multi-use trail developed on an abandoned CN line. It extends from above the escarpment near Albion Falls, to lower Hamilton. It boasts beautiful views of the Niagara Escarpment and the Hamilton Brick Works.. In 1993, a right-of-way into a pedestrian/ bicycle trail was added.

For the drive, I took a MINI Countryman, which is surprisingly spacious with just enough power to keep the drive exciting but not overbearing.
