Milton.

Milton sits on the Niagara Escarpment in Halton Region, west of Mississauga and north of Burlington, with one of the densest concentrations of Conservation Halton parks in the GTA. The Bruce Trail — Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath — runs the spine of the escarpment through five of them: Mount Nemo, where cliff-edge trail passes crevice caves and the Brock Harris Lookout; Rattlesnake Point, with sport-climbing crags at Buffalo Crag and the Pinnacle and four named lookouts above the talus; Crawford Lake, where a reconstructed 15th-century Wendat longhouse village sits on the footprint of an excavated archaeological village beside a meromictic lake whose sediments scientists nominated as a candidate "golden spike" reference site for the proposed Anthropocene epoch; Kelso, with reservoir swimming, paddling rentals, and singletrack mountain biking; and Hilton Falls, where Sixteen Mile Creek drops 10 metres over the escarpment past the 1820s ruins of Hilton's mill.

Glen Eden, at Kelso, runs the southern Ontario escarpment's alpine ski hill with a terrain park and snow-tubing operation. Mountsberg adds a Raptor Centre with non-releasable eagles, owls, and hawks.

Halton County Forest's Britton Tract carries Halton Region's mountain-bike singletrack. The Niagara Escarpment was designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1990.

Milton sits on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
