Description

We will explore the beautiful rolling hills of this conservation area, going through a pine plantation, a cedar grove, as well as a mixed forest. The conservation area labels many of the trees with interesting information so we can identify trees from their bark.

We will hike the perimeter of the park – 6.5 km – and then for those who would like a little longer hike we can then hike some of the interior trails, adding another couple of kilometres.
