Limehouse Conservation Area

Limehouse Conservation Area is a protected natural area in Halton Hills with limestone formations, dense forests, wetlands, and the Black Creek tributary running through it. The 190-acre property features marked hiking trails and supports diverse wildlife habitats across its varied terrain.

The site preserves limestone kilns from the 1840s and a powder house from 1850, remnants of industrial activity that continued through 1917. These structures mark the transformation of the land from working quarry and mill site to its current conservation status.

The Bruce Trail system links this area to a broader network of hiking routes across Ontario, making it a node in regional outdoor recreation. Local visitors use the trails year-round as part of their connection to the province's natural spaces.

Free parking is available on 5th Line with access to multiple marked trails for visitors of different abilities. The trails are well-maintained and easy to navigate throughout the property.

The Hole in the Wall features a network of deep rock fissures and crevices that visitors can explore by ladder through natural karst formations. This geological feature offers a rare chance to venture inside the limestone landscape itself.
