Short Hills Provincial Park is a 688-hectare (1,700-acre) natural environment park. Notable features such as the Niagara Escarpment and Carolinian Forests are protected within the park, as these are provincially significant earth science and life science features.

Activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching and horseback riding are permitted on the appropriately marked trails. Please note that each of the six established trails is designated as either shared use hiking/cycling/ horseback riding or as hiking only. It is not advisable to use the park in wet weather, as this deteriorates the trails and causes environmental damage.

The park is open seven days a week, sunrise to 10 p.m., and visitors are asked to keep to the established trails.
