Reviews of Cedar Valley Conservation Area (Park)

Carrie Becker

Nice trails for when you have time to explore but paths are not well marked. Some signs mark paths that are not maintained, making it easy to lose the trail and get lost

Monica Hickey

Everytime I come here the mosquitoes are thick & frightfully abundant...lol. Maybe its just me but you have been warned.

Angelo Garcia

Good nature trails!

Faisal Hafeez

Its nice place but not very well managed difficult go down to river its steep down.

Sam Sung

Yeah the amount of dogs people have in Oshawa it's ridiculous you people need to pick up your poo maybe I should come and poo in your backyards and see if you like that would you? some of you might.. Also the city should replace the map that's there which is completely dilapidated and parking should be extended but the blood suckers want to by law to enforce and make some money off of us there dirtbags

Ananya Rajyal

THIS PLACE IS BASED

Anisa Tasnim

Great experience.

Sai Abhishek

Beautiful Trail

Saad Shakeel

What a gem! The terrain and landscape keeps changing through out the walk. Quite well maintained aswell. It was a shame to see litter near the parking area and in some places on the path. Its an awesome green area nestled between residential ones and should be taken care of.

Tony Joseph K

Good place for a walk

Drew

Had a wonderful time exploring the trails with 7th Oshawa cub scouts.

Angelica Trento

Great location for a quick walk. Nice and easy trails.

Suryansh Sahota

Great spot nestled in the middle of a residential area. I took bike through the trails. I lost my sunglasses on May 23, 2021 at around 6-7PM. If you find them, do respond to this comment. Thanks!

Meri V

Love this spot. Found it by fluke. Worth a visit

madonna massey

Depending what your needs maybe us what you do at Cedar Valley.

shayna maracle

Nice little city getaway

Ashif Chowdhury

Come here during any time of the year and you'll have a good time. There's a maintained park which has 1 main trail through it and a bench. That trail leads to 3 trails, one directly by the creak close to Simcoe St, one leading into the forest and then into the creek farther south, and one leading into the university. All three main trails converge at different places and have many smaller trails leading off. You can see salmon in the stream at different times of the year, cool trees, bunnies, a lot of trash, ducks and occasionally others.

swiss_knife_ 4_edc

Excellent paths for people and dogs! Shady trails and free parking ????

Fatima Silveira

Short trail but still fun. There are two options one is a short 0.3km and the other is 0.9km. Signaling is decent (albeit confusing at times) and trail is mostly clean.

Tayler Nicholls

It was nice and relaxing. Small parking lot tho.

Sunny Sunny

Pretty impressive forest.

Dianne Marsh

Beautiful trail, well kept and lots to see. Amazing views of the water for a large portion of the walk.

Nancy Jane-Botwin

Great place to explore with the kids and walk the dogs! Just proceed with caution in some areas as there are obvious signs of teenagers partying; broken glass and garbage! No washroom facilities.

Dylon Angi

Great place for a walk in all seasons. Lots of trails :) would definitely come again!

Kamalesh Muthukalathi

Good place for a small hike.

A Charles

Amazing trails... beautiful scenery

Mohsin Ali

Stunning park for nature walks

Jeremy Rust

Nice little trail. Some of the trail markers need to replaced. Quiet. Limited parking. Not to difficult. One major hill which is quite step. by the creek at the end. But there are hand rails to help.

Colin

Awesome place to walk through the woods. Lot’s of people take their dogs here. A few cools spots to go tobogganing but are pretty dangerous. Still lots of fun but pretty steep and lots of things to crash into. Ask me how I know... we love coming here in the winger mostly as there are less people walking around. You might find some people “camping” back in some of these parts but I’ve never had any issues. Lots of great photo opportunities just a really fun place to explore any time of the year. Remember to stoop and scoop people!

Dr. Allan Drayton

This place didn't seem like much at first. But you have to go inwards, off the path and follow the river. We got to see what we thought were salmon and rainbow trout in the river. Not many people there too.

ARES The Euro DOBIE

Beautiful trail , very relaxing and gorgeous scenery.

Graham MacGregor

Nice walking trails

Veronica Gomez

Tim Romard

Wow! What a place for a walk and relaxation it help to clear the mind

Ruben Bakhshinyan

SUPATOOX TUKEY

It was a nice change from kfcband popeyes

Bradley White

Lots of shade and wildlife to see!! Enjoy!!

Kasual Koala

Nice place to get away from the city, while still being in the city! I didn't explore many of the trails, but the ones I did take made me feel lost in the forest. My dog loved it! Saw a few clearings with fire pits, so I guess people camp here. Not sure if its allowed, but they're there.

Maritime Bud

Beautiful trail

Mark Crossley

Off lease dog park with nice trails for walking

Kimberly Miller

Great family, low impact exploring!

Brian Caicco

Being close to the university campus, this park tends to be a bit busier than others in the area. It has some beautiful trails that are great for a casual stroll and if you’re looking for adventure there are even some steeper sections. Although it’s surround by suburbs and commercial centers, and near the Oshawa airport this park has a few hidden gems that make it worth a visit.

J Brown

Very nice spot along the creek. Bug spray required if off the beaten path.

Wayne McMillan

Great outdoors outing!

Larry Jr Kozak

Park and explore!!

Paul Schortemeyer

If you haven't walked here you are totally missing out! Lots of lovely forest trails - some more wild than others, but not too far from a neighbourhood much of the time. I like how it circled up behind the university for quick access (if we are ever allowed to go back in person!) I highly suggest using a mapping app or google maps your first few times through as there are many side trails in some sections.

JC C (Supetfly)

Awesome place for a walk in the woods with your kids my dad used to take me and my sister there when we were kids before all the houses were built all around there and there was a driving range are there still great to bring your kids or yourself very cool

Ken Smuck

Nice spot lots of mosquitos in the spring

Richard Bavlnka

Nice walks

Tammy Jackson

Great for a long or short hike alone or with the kiddos

Livon Lord

Mostly covered by snow, but it is still a nice spot to clear your head.

Kathleen Davidson

Lovely trails. One is still covered in puddles but the others were dry.

Casi

Very pretty, though strange that people fish in the little river (get it i guess)

Devante (Devo Codes)

Nice spot to walk and relax.

Quercus

It's a great walk in the city, with beautiful mature trees throughout. However, many areas are overrun with invasives; particularly Dog-strangling vine.

G. George Wright

Very good Forest Trail with river.

Biggie T

Very pretty, got to see some salmon trying to swim up stream

Ganghee Lee

Very good to visit with children

Kacey Postill

Absolutely beautiful + peaceful . I'm truly surprised this piece of heaven exists within the city. Definitely worth checking out. Our family had a lovely time.

M Patel

Good place to spend evening

Brent Myers

A nice escape close to school and the city

James Mata

Little chipmunks are so cute and will eat nuts right out of your hand. The sign says don't feed the land creatures only the birds, but ingnore that. Also the little ducks are so cute and makes you just want to take one home (not recommended). Watch out for the Canadian geece they can sometimes be aggressive.

Olga

Wild, wild east. Oshawa Creek is awesome, salmon are on the way back to the cradle. Nice place to get closer with nature. Leave your fancy shoes and pants at home, you would need a waterproof hiking shoes, long sleeves shirt and mosquito repellent. Don't forget a bottle with water, otherwise you could try River water ????

Kavita Upadhyay

Can we add bonus stars to this place ?? Plzzzz ..... well this is one of The best places to calm , to party , to trek , to have fun with kids(as it’s also an adventurous walk) and what not . This place left me with an Aawww . The people have built up benches , swings (2) , a place to bonfire ????, and a small place to sit under the shade .. called the Healing Lodge.the healing lodge is just a small area with a board on the outside which says please maintain cleanliness.. and people actually follow it. It’s always clean , has first aid box , has a notebook to write your experience and books to read. Can you believe all of this in a jungle adjacent to a flowing river . People within Oshawa or outside it .. do visit and maintain the cleanliness... it’s definitely worth it... highly recommended

Zara Charbonneau

Great little trail. Yes it could be marked better but that kind of added to the fun and you only ever got a little off trail, not seriously lost. Not stroller friendly and saw a decent amount of poison ivy but the pathways themselves are pretty clear so easy to avoid. A nice easy hike for the kids that didn't take too long. My 2 yr old managed pretty easily. No one was exhausted at the end of the loop.

Cameron Nixon

Neat tucked away place for a hike with lots of trails.

Great place to walk dogs

Katelyn Lindsay

Love this place. Always come here to watch the salmon in the fall

Mo Alnatee

This is a massive park with a lot of hidden gems. One of the best parks in the GTA area, and it's my favorite in Durham region. You can easily get lost, and there are many hidden trails. Some of the hiking trails are difficult and a little bit dangerous but always use the creek as your guide. Parking is free (we pay high taxes in Oshawa) but not many spots are available. Enjoy the hiking but stay safe, pick up after your dog, and respect your surrounding.

Heather Lee E

Beautiful! Great place for Geocashing

Phil Dapple
