Reviews of John E. Poole Wetlands (Museum)

Tatiana Kastner

A lovely place to have a walk

Stephanie Usher

Really nice place to take a walk and appreciate the wetlands and its inhabitants.

Kelly

Very nice walk along wooden boardwalks and down the rivers edge. We saw lots of animals like muskrats and beavers, and plenty of birds

Mike Killick

Beautiful boardwalk among the wetlands and viewing platform looking over Big Lake. Saw ducks, swallows, herons, cranes and Pelicans.

Dan Schykulski

It's a nice place to walk and bird watch. You'll see several types of birds, muskrats, Beavers and the occasional moose here. There is a nice boardwalk that takes you right through the wet land area so you feel like you're really immersed in it. My favorite time to visit is right around sunset.

Kirsten Mackesy

Love it here

Dreaming Traveller

Very nice place. Nature close to city. Though almost from any place you can hear bust highway 16. You can see birds, deers and probably a moose. Short walk, maybe you can circle it in 30 minutes. Good place to bring kids to show them nature without long drive. You can also bring your four legged buddy. Also the place has a washroom. It,s maintained by volunteers and there are a couple boxes for donations.

A great place close to the city to connect with nature. A variety of waterfowl alongside some songbirds. Be prepared for wind, moreso on cooler days.

Melanie A

Pretty neat place to check out!

Eleasah Wittke

It's beautiful and has easy walking trails. A great place to spend a day in nature. Just bring bug spray in you are visiting in the spring.

Kristine Lynn Bowman

Stunning, no matter what time of year you go

Dipan Das

Lovely place for bird lovers. You can see quite a variety here. Also a nice place to go for a quiet evening stroll. We usually go there to take bird photos and rarely are we disappointed. I would like to visit this lake from the other side. May be there are hidden gems to be discovered.

Lisa Atari

So beautiful and quiet for leisurely long walks.

Jason

Very relaxing and peaceful place to walk or ride your bike

Wildlife with Ghadi

great place to enjoy and learn about our local wildlife. I truly recommend this place for everyone, nature lovers can enjoy birding and being in nature, while other people can relax and have fun in the wild.

Mahesh Maharjan

Must be great place for bird watchers. For us, it was a relaxing walk across a cool breezy green grassy deck. Really refreshing...

Heather Baier

Excellent board walk nature walk through a wetland. The trail is maintained and the posters are great. Lots of parking. Big spacious outhouse near the parking lot. Great for kids,, seems accessible, lots of pokemon and wizards unite stuff.

Deberah Kearns

A natural area in the city but out of it. Red winged blackbirds, ducks and other birds abound. The boardwalk is a great place.

Darren Kirby

Has a nice boardwalk through the marsh as well as a bit of access to Big Lake and a couple of storm ponds. Nice place to do a bit of birding close to the city.

Rebecca Furry

Beautiful place to walk. Not a long route through the wetlands board walk. Stroller friendly and lots of parking.

Phi Phan

Taking a walk with kids on the coldest day of the week? Sure. Why not, right? The boardwalk was not busy, but it was still educational and well maintained.

Jonny Cox

Fantastic boardwalk! This is a great park for kids scooting. We saw some great birds and water animals too

Chuyen Do

This place is my favorite one. It's good for birds watch and wildlife. Ride the bike as early morning as I can to get here to get fresh air and feeling blend with nature.

Courtney Albrecht

Absolutely gorgeous and perfect for a field trip. We took our grade 5s for a pond study and the docks and board walk is extremely helpful

Kirk Dewhurst

This is a fantastic experience on a raised boardwalk over a wetland area. This area is within the Lois Hole Provincial Park. There are washroom facilities here and also picnic tables. There are lots of interpretative information boards about this wetland area along the boardwalk. We visited in the winter time and it was very nice. The only negative was that the boardwalk was very icy so proceed at your own risk.

Io Yoda

What a wonderful Legacy that the Poole family left for all of us to enjoy.

Kevin Melanson

Take a stroll, walk our dog and witness wildlife in their natural habitat. Love this place and so close to the city.

Kev P

First time here. A lovely place to go out for a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Andrew Johnson

The look out at Big Lake has been closed, pending repairs, for a significant time. Poor maintenance of facilities isn't good for this park.

Really great walking and biking paths. I would highly recommend.

I always enjoy going to this place. Can get crowded and noisy. Too much garbage in the wetlands unfortunately.

Always a nice walk along the boardwalk, nice place to connect with nature

Ariel Couture

If you live or work nearby, it’s a nice place to visit for a quick walk in the warmer months. Connects to bike paths at the end of the boardwalk

Gunnar Blodgett

One of the longer wetland boardwalks in the capitol area. Several observation platforms and interpretive plaques, plus waterfowl, muskrats, the occasional moose and other wildlife.

sanam chahal

Amazing and wonderful

Andre LeBlanc

Neat place and changes thru spring, summer and fall.

L SR

Nice place for a walk and the birds are awesome.

Carlos Cachicamo

I had quite a few lovely summer walks here. Theres a lot of information boards all throughout the walkway. Theres even a fewer areas that drop down even closer to the water. Always seems to have a moderate amount of people there. Definitely a place to bring your kids and maybe they might learn something new.

Wet

Paths were well kept, wildlife was plentiful and nature was majestic. Remember your sunscreen, hat and sunglasses, as there is little to no shade to be had.

Good place to see the etiology and the development of landscape from ice age.
