The natural beauty of the distinctively hilly, rolling terrain is within the Oak Ridges Moraine. Formed during the last ice age, it was the extreme southern edge of the glacier, which as it finally retreated left ridges, hills, valleys, and kettle lakes. The area can be experienced on foot by hiking the Oak Ridges Trail. The villages, farms, animals and countryside offer relaxed and tranquil views.
