    PROS:1. Smooth and well-maintained trails. Good signage as well. If you were to stay within the park, you can get in a nice, scenic, and rolling 6-mile loop by connecting different trails.2. If you were to venture out, Bruce Trail, Trans-Canada Trail, and Elora-Cataract Trail Way all go on miles and miles. If you want to stay on gravel/double tracks, Elora-Cataract Trail Way, which is also part of Trans-Canada Trail, will be the best. I believe going the other direction on Trans-Canada trail will bring you onto a long stretch of road before going back to trails.3. Nice views of the escarpment and a waterfallCON:1. Paid Parking: ~$6 for two hours or $15 for the day.

    I didn't plan on such a long hike but the day was comfortable and the park was not crowded. You pay for parking at a meter. You choose what amount you wish to pay for. I paid for the minimum amount - 2 hours. The trails were well marked. Some parts were pretty steep. Some were muddy and slippery. Some were rocky. Some were easy. You just have to be careful, as with any hike. We followed the Meadow Trail and went down a long set of stairs to a viewing area where we saw a falls. It appeared that there was an easier way to get into the park from a residential area across the Credit River. The Bruce Trail and the Trans Canada Trail also come through the park. There are kettle lakes and ruins as well. We found two toilets, one at the park entrance and one on the Dominion Trail. I'd like to come back when the park is green.

    Bring your best hiking shoes - many trails to explore - great photos of waterfalls - train tracks and much more.

    Forks of the Credit has some beautiful scenery especially now that the fall colors are in full show. However I think the park is a bit too popular for its own good. You certainly won't find any solitude or see much skittish wildlife. The highlight was the lake located near the entrance. It was a clear sunny day with a perfect mirror reflection on the surface. Lovely. Cataract Falls were the main point of interest for me and in the end I was a bit disappointed with them or rather the lack of accessibility to them. There was no obvious way that I could see of reaching the base of the falls. Shame because I would've loved to have taken some pictures unobstructed by trees. We didn't have time to hike the entire trail but I hope to do this in the future.

    ...disappointed with the lack of view of the cataracts (falls). Also lots of new fences put up for safety but ends up detracting from the beauty. Wish we could still go down to the ruins like I did when I was younger but it's now fenced off. Still, a nice place for a nature hike, plus the roads around this area are super fun to drive!Warning: When they say "No Parking", they mean it! You can get a ticket, even on Sunday.

    This is a nice southern Ontario park with decent walking trails, some of which are part of the Trans-Canada and Bruce Trail systems, but there are so many other interesting hiking options in the area (Belfountain for example). We enjoyed our walk but would not drive the 60 minutes to do it again.

    After a really long and boring hike, when you reach at the look-out point there is hardly anything to see. The fall is quite small, no access to it and the view is completely blocked by trees. Not even a place to rest for some time after such a long hike. People almost immediately turn for a long hike back to the parking lot. Poorly organized overall.

    What a great way to spend a saturday afternoon. There is a 14$ charge at the engrave Gaye via a pay box - no teller. At first this caught me off guard but I realized its to provide funds used to the protection of the land. Also, I saw a stout trotting along and then going for a swim. He was the cutest little guy.

    We were excited to bike the trails at the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park as we have had great experiences in other Ontario parks. Our plan was to ride through the park and out along the Elora Cataract Rail Trail. The first bad taste was a $14 flat rate parking fee. And then it got worse. The trail leading out of the parking lot was in terrible condition. The surface was inconsistent – from small gravel to rocks, carved with deep, washed out ruts. I had to walk my bike down, and even then I had to go very slowly. We then turned right on the red “meadow” trail. Imagine a lawnmower cut through weeds, which has been allowed to grow back in. Yup, that was it. At least it wasn’t dangerous like the initial descent, so we could ride, but really nothing noteworthy to see. At the next signpost, we took the next right onto the TransCanada Trail. It wasn’t any better – a narrow “singletrack” (aka rut) with no flow, and then a hairpin turn on gravel & rocks again – also terribly washed out. We crossed the lookout bridge (meh) and then were confronted with a detour off the TransCanada Trail onto Cataract Road for “trail rehabilitation”. That trail looked fine; however the detour trail was also in terrible shape, with serious erosion problems, a couple deep holes, and impassable unless you walked your bike.There was a lack of signage explaining the detour, but fortunately we had our phones so we could figure it out. We managed to find the trailhead on the other side, and rode 20 km up the ECTA – it, at least was well maintained, albeit really boring with not much to see.For the return trip, we decided we wanted to avoid the mess leading down to the lookout bridge, so we took the other way. There was a quite pretty view of the rapids & gorge off another bridge, but watch your step for the drop. This was the yellow Dominion Trail, which I believe is part of the Bruce Trail as the trees had blazes. It was in even worse shape than our way in. Very steep ascents and descents, with worse erosion problems. My husband is a better mountain biker than I, and even he got off to walk it. And now a complaint about the signage at the site and on the maps provided. ALL the trails are marked as bike-friendly. But this is incorrect; the portion of the black Bruce Trail which connects the yellow Dominion Trail to the red Meadow Trail USED to be bike-friendly, but is now forbidden to bikes. We found this out the hard way – when we got there. By this time, we were DONE with this park and just wanted to get out of there ASAP as we had walked our bikes more often than we were able to ride them. So we picked them up, and carried them up, and up, and up - pretty much straight up a very steep hill, reinforced with wooden steps to prevent further erosion. Strangely, I enjoyed this part of the adventure the most. But not enough to consider ever coming back to this park again.

    My folks used to live nuts around the corner from the falls, beautiful spot! Met a guy building people out of the stones in the river bed by stacking them on one another. Really unique and serene place. Nice hike walking in from the main lot off mcloren rd. it's now $5.25 for 2 hours parking...

    A stop at the Park is a wonderful addition to any trip to the Forks. Hiking and walking trails available and terrific scenery, regardless of the season.

    We hiked through this provincial park while doing a section of the Bruce Trail. The Devil's Pulpit was awesome...worth the climb!! It seemed as if we were in another world, with quiet solitude, gigantic trees, and huge boulders covered in bright green moss. The hike was worth the effort!

    Quiet. Scenic. Relaxing. A short trip from Mississauga or Oakville. A world apart. Very rural. Especially appealing in the Fall.

    We went to see the waterfalls at the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park . It could be reached by trekking for about 25-30 minutes . Going here from Brampton, the best and easiest way is to take Hurontario Road then turn at Charleston Sideroad from Caledon, then go south on McLaren Road.You will pay $3 for 2 hours of parking. You would need about 2 hours going to and from the area where the waterfall is located. It is a nice trail to take during summer and fall.Bring a lot of water and wear comfortable shoes.
