 The Dofasco 2000 Trail is an 11.5 km multi-use trail on Hamilton’s East Mountain. It passes through the beautiful rural country side of Stoney Creek with both on and off-road sections. Located on the Powerline Road allowance it runs in an east-west direction on top of the Niagara Escarpment. The trail offers users a unique opportunity to view the beauty and diversity of our region - from the steep slopes and vistas of the Niagara Escarpment to wetland areas and woodlots. As a stone dust trail featuring a 2 km boardwalk through the Vinemount Swamps, it has a passive recreation focus on hiking, cycling and cross-country skiing. The trail links the 1812 Battlefield Park, Devil's Punch Bowl Conservation Area, and Vinemount Wetlands and will eventually continue "on-road" to link with the Waterfront Trail at the Fifty Point Conservation Area on Lake Ontario. Another "on-road" link will make the connection to the Chippawa Trail which is now designated a part of the Trans Canada Trail network. This link will pass by the recently discovered underground caves in the Eramosa Karst Conservation Area. Trails such as these provide substantial and sustainable benefits, including recreation, fitness, economic, heritage, and education. This trail, in fact, enhances the quality of everyday living for families, seniors, youth organizations and the handicap. The Hamilton Conservation Foundation anticipates that this trail will attract tourists, and thereby generate revenues and possible employment in the greater Hamilton area.
