Hamilton Ontario, offers two of the best Ontario locations to do inline skating on dedicated large and well paved trails up to an average of 17 km in length. One trail is located on the west side along Hamilton Harbour, formerly known as Burlington Bay and the other on the east side along Lake Ontario.

From time to time we skate there.

Transportation

Driving from south west Toronto can be troublesome. It can take 1h to 1h and 20m or more when done anywhere between 5 and 7 pm during the week and 45 minutes on the weekend and not to forget the gas and sometimes, parking costs.

Go train

Since 2022, one Hamilton skater Jeff has been successful taking the Go train to come to Toronto, skating with the group. The same can be done to skate in Hamilton.

  1. Presto card compatible
  2. Same or less travel time, save gas money and car wear.
  3. The group can travel together and socialize
  4. Enjoy the landscape while helping keeping it greener
