Short Hills Provincial Park, Provincial park in Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada
The 735-hectare natural environment park contains valleys, steep hills, dense forests, meadows, rivers, and six marked trails through the Niagara Escarpment.
The area holds evidence of 12,000 years of human presence, from Paleo-Indians to Iroquois settlements and European colonization in the early 1800s.
The Brown-Jouppien house from 1810 stands within the park boundaries, providing information about the daily life of early Canadian settlers.
Three parking areas at Wiley Road, Roland Road, and Pelham Road entrances give access to color-coded trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
The park protects thirty different species at risk and contains Carolinian Forest trees such as sassafras, flowering dogwood, black oak, and silver maple.
