WEEKLY KELSO MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL SYSTEM DISTRUPTION

HILTON FALLS LOW WATER LEVELS
Water levels at Hilton Falls are currently very low due as a result of extended dry conditions with below-average rainfall over the previous three months and therefore the view of the falls will be impacted.
PARK TRAIL CLOSURES
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive species that infects and kills Ash trees and this is creating hazards for the public. Our forestry team will be removing hazardous or damaged trees along certain areas of trails at Conservation Halton Parks, Mondays through Fridays 8am to 4pm. While tree removal is carried out, sections of trails will be closed to the public for safety reasons. Signs will be posted.
