Directions: From Stratford or Kitchener take the Baden exit. The Baden exit is located on HWY 7/8. If you need directions to the Baden Tower, stop and ask one of the friendly locals or local businesses.
Most will be happy to offer directions.
Comments: 3 main hills spanning about 270 degrees around (3-sided), and various surrounding smaller hills. Hills range in length from 30-3000 ft, and in slope by 30-70 degrees. It is all entirely dependant on which hill you choose. Some are appropriate for the youngest sledders, others are appropriate for the daredevils. Specific obstacle: There is one electrical (hydro) tower at the base of one smaller, secondary hill. Location of this obstacle is *very* obvious when you arrive. You would have to be blind or oblivious to miss it. Parking: Cars may be parked along the side of the two bordering roads, on a first come first serve basis. You may have to walk a bit, but you'll have to do that anyway to reach the top of your hill of choice. Crowds: Baden and its surrounding villages comprise a rather small, tight-knit, and family-oriented community. You will find relatively small crowds as a result, but this IS a very popular sledding place. You will see everyone from infants to senior citizens. Exercise due caution and diligence to prevent unneccessary accidents. Activities: The popular activities are tobogganing (sledding), GT snowracers (a specialized sled with seats and steering), and snowboarding. Snowmobiles are forbidden. |
