After the Cheltenham Badlands was fenced off to the public for almost three years, the Caledon gem is open and ready for visitors.
Located just over an hour north of downtown Toronto, this natural wonder features a seven-hectare area of exposed iron-rich Queenston Shale bedrock deposited centuries ago.

Located in Caledon, the striking landscape of the Cheltenham Badlands is one of Ontario’s geological, natural, and heritage treasures.
The Badlands are a provincially significant Earth Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest and one of the most recognizable and visited natural heritage landmarks in southern Ontario.
