This hike will explore the lake plain habitat. The progressive shoreline of Lake Ontario has left a history of receding terraces moving north since the last of the Ice Age glacier melted 12,000 years ago. Drainage ravines have plunged down from Ridge Road since that time, first stimulating the pioneer milling industry, then the apple orchard industry in this unique habitat. Enter the park on Holt Road. Look for the “Hike” signs.
