The Paleozoic Path (wheelchair accessible) runs from the parking lot to a lookout platform at Swayze Falls, where Twelve Mile Creek drops over the Escarpment. Keep to the gravelled path if you just want to complete the 20-minute return hike to the falls.
The trail takes you through a forest and then a clearing where butterflies feed on meadow wildflowers and blue-winged warblers sing their buzzy notes from the brushy areas.
Directions: From the QEW exit at Regional Road 24 and head south through Vineland, until you come to Regional Road 69. Head east long 69 until you come to the paring lot. Look for the park sign that is set back from the road, there is ample parking here.
