The Escarpment Rail Trail is a scenic path that follows an old rail corridor up the Hamilton Escarpment. It offers wide views across the city and Lake Ontario, especially near the Kenilworth access. You’ll pass lookouts, old rail markers, and shaded sections as you climb toward the top of the escarpment. It’s a multi-use path, so you might share it with bicycles, and you can combine it with the Bruce Trail to make a loop.
