Located north of Dufferin Ave (Hwy #2), at north end of MacLellan Avenue, visitors will be well-rewarded for climbing up the stairs to the Lookout Tower on Mount Pelion.

It is great for walking, hiking, biking as well as driving up via MacLellan Street. Climb the recently upgraded stairs and observation deck and enjoy the beauty of Trenton and the Bay. The view is spectacular and worth the effort!

Discover "Trenton's Mountain" that was left behind by glaciers. You can walk, hike, bike or drive up to the observation deck and see a panoramic view of Trenton's waterways and surrounding countryside. Visited in 1615 by Samuel de Champlain, the "mountain" is technicallty a drumlin, with an esker on the north end.

In the 1800's, a cannon was hoisted to the top of the mountain by a team of horses, but has not been fired since 1898.

The site was designated a Heritage Property in 1989, and a new lookout tower has replaced the former wooden one.

You can see as far away as Murray Hills, Belleville and into Prince Edward County.
