Hockley Valley Provincial Nature Reserve, Provincial nature reserve in Dufferin County, Canada.
The reserve spans across 377 hectares of land featuring forested moraines, open meadows, and a gorge created by the Nottawasaga River.
Established in 1989, the reserve forms part of the Niagara Escarpment, a geological formation stretching from Lake Erie to Manitoulin Island.
The Bruce Trail network crosses through the reserve, connecting it to other protected areas and offering opportunities for nature exploration.
Located six kilometers from Orangeville, the reserve permits hiking and snowshoeing activities, though it does not provide visitor facilities.
The reserve houses 417 plant species, including the rare cuckoo flower and sand violet, alongside endangered species like the butternut tree.
