I was scrolling across the Bronte Creek website and noticed they have several trails with various lengths. But I also found a different and longer (5km) trail called Bronte Creek Provincial Park Loop Trail on AllTrails.com.
Here is what AllTrails has to say about this #1 ranked Best Bronte Creek Provincial Park Trail:
"Enjoy this 5.0-km loop trail near Oakville, Ontario. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 10 min to complete. This trail is great for birding, camping, and hiking. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash."
Note: This trail requires you to walk on the road shared by park vehicles. The Bronte Creek Provincial Park website does not list this trail.
So, if you don’t feel like doing the full 5km, I recommend you check out the Bronte Creek website and check out these choices:
Barrier Free Trail (2.4 km and a section of it is the famous Gnome Road)
Trillium Trail – 1km (best in the spring if you’d like to to see wild flowers)
Logging Trail- 0.6km
Half Moon Valley Trail- 2km
Lookout Ravine Trail – 2.7 km
Maidens Blush Trail – 1km
And Field and Forest Trail/Gateway Trail – 3.5km
Gnome Road
A truly creative gnome village flourishes in the forest on a section of Barrier Free Trail at Bronte Creek.
It’s a great place to bring the kids and take whimsical photos.
I contacted Bronte Creek Provincial Park and confirmed that the trail is still there. You can find signs for this trail behind the Children’s Barn. (See the map above, the yellow trail (1) is Barrier Free Trail)
Huge Pool in the Summertime
Important note: Make sure to check out the 1.8 acre pool that is open from 1 July to Labour Day!
Make sure to check out this amazing 1.8 acre pool that is open from 1 July to Labour Day! It was closed last year for repairs so make sure to check if it’s open on their website.
Entrance Fee
Important note: If you have been to Bronte Creek before, you may know that there is a daily entrance fee to get in, or you can buy a seasons pass.
