  Hike #36 Hilton Falls to St. Helena Road, Milton   Today we began our trek by parking our car at our final destination on St. Helena's Road in Milton. The parking is free but also limited. We then took an Uber to Cambellville Road, where the Bruce Trail crosses just east of Hilton Falls Conservation. Our Uber ride cost about $17.

We are now venturing far enough from home that we will be driving only one car. Both locations have washroom facilities.    Hilton Falls Conservation Area Kelso Glen Eden trail head at the parking lot  The trail gets a bit confusing in Glen Eden, as for some reason it loops around some buildings. We actually lost sight of the trail and cut off a small section that leads you out towards the gatehouse at the park entrance before looping back around the buildings and heading in the opposite direction. If you want to bypass this rather useless and poorly marked section then head straight (northwest) towards the beach from the parking lot and turn left (southwest) out towards Appleby Line.  Trail heading
