I want to start light hiking, at least while I still can for the season. Preferably close to urban areas and transit accessible.

Do I need anything else besides a backpack, water bottles and appropriate clothes for hikes like this?

I went at the Calvaire d'Oka last week. It's alright. Easy stuff. You can always hit Chemin d'Olmstead on Mont-Royal, right in the center of the city. Pretty close to the city you can find monteregian hills standing in the middle of the St-Lawrent plains. The mountains are a chain of ancient lava reservoir that never exploded and cooled down over a hundred million years. When the glaciers melted, all the sediments was washed away and the hard rock stayed there.

If you go north, you can find taller mountains on the Canadian Shield. You can also find mountains in the East towards Sherbrooke and Megantic.

Depends what you're looking for. Great small trails around Cap St Jacques in Senneville and Mt Bruno to the south for some elevation and more remote. Also tons of hiking trails in the Laurentiens

Hmm. I've been to Mont Royal Park a few times, but I've went there in depth.

I went their once, on a school tripped. My teacher, who lived near by, had made his own map which he had named features after things from The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.

It would be nice to go back there ...

Mont St-Hillaire is also quite nice. There are four peaks with a lake in the middle. It's higher than Mont St.Bruno.
