Short Hills Provincial Park, Provincial park in Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada

Short Hills Provincial Park covers 660 hectares in the centre of the Niagara Peninsula, bordering St. Catharines and Pelham. It lies on the southern edge of the Niagara Escarpment, where glacial deposits and till were cut by Twelve Mile Creek into a jumble of short, steep hills and valleys. Six side trails, including the Bruce Trail, cross dense forest and open meadow, and several waterfalls lie along the creeks.

Short Hills Provincial Park lies on the southern edge of the Niagara Escarpment, where glacial deposits and till were cut by Twelve Mile Creek into the steep knolls and valleys that give the park its name. The park covers 660 hectares in the centre of the Niagara Peninsula, bordering St. Catharines and Pelham, and also borders the Short Hills Bench vineyard sub-appellation.

The park borders the Short Hills Bench, a vineyard sub-appellation of the Niagara Peninsula. Its Carolinian zone location, at the northern limit for many species, means pawpaw, sweet chestnut and tulip-tree grow here, plants rarely found elsewhere in Canada.

Three parking areas at Wiley Road, Roland Road, and Pelham Road entrances provide access to color-coded trails throughout the park. Each trail is designed for hikers, bikers, or riders, with clear markings to help visitors stay oriented as they explore.
