The Halton Region is in the middle of the connecting route between two of Ontario's largest urban areas: the Greater Toronto Area and the city of Hamilton.  But the Halton Region is located within the Province's designated Greenbelt zone, and there are many outdoor attractions and opportunities to enjoy nature.  The Niagara Escarpment  that runs north through the region is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, recognized for its unique landscape.  There are opportunities for cycling, hiking, canoeing, birding, swimming, fishing, downhill skiing, rock climbing and golf.  In particular, the Halton Region is home to Glen Abbey, one of Canada's greatest golf courses, and the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame.

There are many Halton greenhouses, nurseries, pick-your-own farms, farmer’s markets or farm entertainment attractions, which include Sheridan Nursery, Terra Greenhouses, Tuitman’s and Van Dongen’s. Other specialty farm experiences can be enjoyed at farm attractions like, Andrews Scenic Acres, Chudleigh’s Farm, Clembrook Christmas Farm, Fish 4 Trout, Springridge Farm, and White Rock Ostrich Farm.
