COOTES PARADISE IN DUNDAS
From Toronto drive west on the QEW until you come to the Y intersection in Burlington of the QEW and Hwy 403. Take Hwy 403 to the Main Street exit in Hamilton and drive right to Main Street West. Turn left on Main Street and drive past the McMaster University Medical Centre to Cootes Drive on the right. Drive down Cootes Drive to the bottom of the hill where the road crosses a small bridge, continue on to York Rd (the 1st lights), turn around here and drive back towards the bridge and park just short of this bridge. The beginning of the trail is across Cootes Drive This is an extensive marsh and there are several trails. If you cross the small bridge ( I believe this is no longer possible ) just down the trail and go to your left or right after crossing this same small bridge. this is a loop trail that will bring you back to where you started.
If you want to get across the creek walk back across the road bridge and go in that way as the foot bridge mentioned above may not be accessible.
