Old Baldy Conservation Area
A viewpoint on the cliff top east of Beaver Valley overlooking the entire valley, and one of Ontario's most popular autumn-foliage hiking spots.
Old Baldy lies near Kimberley village, where a bare rock face juts out from the Niagara Escarpment east of Beaver Valley. From the parking lot, the Bruce Trail climbs about 20 to 30 minutes to the cliff-top lookout, which overlooks Beaver Valley's farmland, forests and the opposite escarpment. In October, when the leaves turn, the view is spectacular. You can continue on a loop of about 4 km. There are no railings at the cliff edge, so take care. Admission is free. Parking spots are scarce on leaf-season weekends, so go early in the morning. It is about 35 minutes' drive from Collingwood.
