Mount NemoMount Nemo is one of the natural environment parks that is protected and managed by Conservation Halton. The park includes unique geological features and one of the best examples of a cliff-edge ecosystem in Ontario. When you explore the natural beauty of Mount Nemo, you will see rare ferns, chipmunks, warblers, soaring Turkey Vultures and ancient cedars, a few of the many species of flora and fauna indigenous to the area. From the Brock Harris Lookout, 295 metres (968 feet) above sea level, 50 kilometres (31 miles) of countryside come into view. The communities of Milton, Brampton, and Toronto, as well as the Nassagaweya Canyon and Rattlesnake Point are spread out across the horizon. On a clear day, you can even spot Toronto’s CN Tower.
