These type of "Badlands" seem to be popping up all over the place lately. This is a very small section of Badlands that we found interesting. There are several patches of this type of geological feature all around, so go explore.
Parking can be found at:
N43° 42.584
W79° 57.773
Walk a short distance along the road (along the fenceline, facing traffic of course) until you see the Main Bruce Trail entrance and head down the steps.
A brief general description of what Badlands are, is as follows.
Badlands are extremely rough terrain found in arid and semiarid regions. They are best developed in sparsely vegetated, semiconsolidated materials that are soft and have low permeability and cohesion, and that are therefore easily removed by episodic running water. Erosional scouring develops an intricate drainage pattern of closely spaced gullies separated by sharp-crested ridges with steep slopes. The materials are typically fairly massive, relatively young (geologically), interbedded clay shale, silty shale, and sandy/gravelly units.
