Belfountain Conservation Area, Ontario

February 2013 

 

Belfountain Conservation Area is located about an hour's drive north of Toronto in the Credit Valley. The conservation area is a very popular picnic area in the summer. The park features a suspension bridge that spans a beautiful waterfall and some historic ruins. The conservation area also connects with Forks of the Credit Provincial Park by way of the Trimble Trail which is a Bruce Trail side trail.

 

Here are a few photos from my day trip to Belfountain Conservation Area in the winter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockwood Conservation Area, Ontario

October 2012

Rockwood Conservation Area makes for a great day trip. The park features towering limestone cliffs, caves and glacial potholes(there are 200 of them within the conservation). You can rent a canoe and paddle along the Eramosa River, hike the trails that offer many nice views or simply spend the day relaxing on the sandy beach. Be forewarned as the park is very busy during the summer. You'll also find some restored ruins of an old woolen mill which closed in 1925.
