Albion hill conservation area
It's Time to Start Your Adventures at Albion hill
Special Hill, not only having a big huge hill for tobogganing, it also has lot of trails to explore the nature. The tobogganing hill is huge and long which could accommodate a lot of people at the hill to enjoy their tobogganing.
Parking/admission: We had to pay for the admission fee to go in at the entrance kiosk. The rate is one adult ($6.80) and a kid from 4 to 13 year old ($4.60)
Black Trail
This trail is open for both summer and winter time. When I checked in at the entrance, the staff told me that if we want to do hiking, we could use only the Black trail because other trails are used for skiing and fat tire biking. The length of the trail is 4.5 km and it is marked as very difficult since it has a lot of high slopes. But don't worried, if you decide to take that trail, it has a lot of connection trails with different paths or choices of Easy and Medium trails to go forwards if you find it is too much for you with the very difficult session. We could tell from the animal signs like a squirrel or a rabbit or (S sign means easy and M sign means medium) to determine the levels of difficulties.
Tobogganing Hill along the Trail
While we were walking along the Black Trail, we could find many slopes that we could do a small/short sledding with your family or kids. But we had to carry our sled along the way and when we saw any good slope, we just allow our kids to slide down for a couple of times before we go on our hike. And my 7 year old daughter found it much more fun than the sledding at the big tobogganing hill.
Another Slope for Tobogganing
The trail session is quite big and easy to walk along even with thick snow on. Also, this small slope is a great slow sledding spot for kids.
A Session on Black Trail
A picture of one easy session at the Black Trail. I just want to let you know that Albion Hill has more than one trail system. They also have Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, and Humber Valley Heritage trails, and the connector trail. All of them have different lengths but the longest one is the Red trail (8.6 km).
