Reviews of Saint Johns Conservation Area (Park)

Shawn Jackson

Awesome hiking with small kids.

Richard Donnelly

Absolutely great place. We have only ever gone to Short Hills when in that area. I like Short Hills a lot but St. John's is very nice and beautiful. Its a much smaller walk. Great place to go.

Chuck Fluri

Nice trails around a stocked trout pond.

Josh Flowers

Maybe the best place in Niagara for hiking.

Paul Cochrane

Really busy all the time

Patrick

Great spot for hiking, and there's a lot of little side trails if you're feeling up to longer hike. Kind of hard to get to even with a car.

Tyler Mallory

Beautiful park, pond and trails!

Ethan Charlebois

Gorgeous place. Def a must see

Melissa Gamble

My favorite place for a stroll.

Paul S.

Short scenic trails

Tirthankar Basu

A great place for a great family time!

Jonathan Manuel

Great place to go for a walk or do a little catch and release fishing. Some of the paths have some decent size hills. Wear good shoes for hiking!

Greg Phillips

Great place to take a hike, or do some fishing with the kids.

Seika Groves

Beautiful place to walk. 4 trails from easy to a more challenging up and down steeper parts of the escarpment. Lots of tree roots along the trails so not great for strollers or wheelchairs although there is a nice area off the main entrance with a trout pound that is level. If you like big old trees this is the place to see them.

Yak Man

Nice little pond to walk around on footpath or fish for trout. Plug your nose in the restroom its pretty ripe.

Terry Proveau

Walked in from the locked gate is just a short walk to the trail around the pond.

Tammy MacMillan

Wonderful opportunity for students to experience.

Shams AbuBakr

Nice outdoor area to enjoy nature and to hike . Wheelchair Accessible fishing deck

John Haanappel

Beautiful, especially around the pond area. Proposed to my fiancee there.

Keegan Walsh

Good fishing

Kat Crow

Perfect spot for a person with mobility issues to go on a hike and even to fish from your wheelchair. The pond is well cared for. I wish there were more picnic tables.

Guy Man

Great place for a quick hike. Not that much animals around because of how many people there are and how small it is. If you go, dkn't bring your dog if you know it is going to bark. All you hear here is dogs barking.

Crystal Fisher

Great place for a short hike. Trails are maintained and there are a couple of options for different difficulties, or just take a stroll around the pond.

IAN Minchul Shin

marco baroch

A great place to satisfy the craving for some nature!

Sean C

Beautiful little spot for a hike, trails are fairly easy. At one time, I believe they stocked the pond with trout. Saw a few kids fishing so they still might. Great spot to visit all year round.

Charles Burton

Beautiful in all seasons

April Houghton

Great place for a hike! Trails are marked according to how long each one will take. The pond usually has ducks and/or geese, and lots of frogs in the spring and summer...fun for kids of all ages. Fun family activity.

Robert Steinbauer

Well maintained walking trails but also some more challenging trails.

Darien Chaffart

Trails are well maintained and quite enjoyable. The setting of this park is absolutely stunning, as it is hidden in the quaint little area of St. John's. Definitely a place that Id recommend to anyone who loves nature & short hikes!

David Schulz

Well maintained old growth Carolinian Forest with ancient Tulip Trees. There are many different trail options clearly marked with length of walks indicated. Beautiful spring fed ponds, with the main one stocked with trout annually.

Stephane Beauregard

Great conservation area. Wheelchair accessible. Good for hiking and fishing. Lots of turtles, frog, snakes, birds ....

Stephanie VanDyke

Plenty of well kept trails that are easy to follow with varying difficulty. Some are even stroller friendly! The pond is nice with plenty of benches around for seating. Ample parking.

Carol Linde

Great trails!

Josh Robins

Great place to go fishing but I think they should stalk the pond with bigger bass and some minnows or smaller bait fish to help grow the bass in their. The biggest bass I caught was 2.5 lbs and that was a couple of years ago I haven't seen a bass that big come out of their since wish their was more bass like that.

J Brown

A great place to hike with the family because none of the trails are long and you feel away from the world. The pond is perfect for walking around for those who can't hike.

Shaun Carolan Sazcube Entertainment

Nice walk.

Peter T.

The area has some beautiful trails of varying difficulty - perfect for a stroll, hike or hardcore trail run. There is a central pond which is algae covered during the summer, but there aren't many other amenties. The drive to the area is picturesque.

Jeff B

This was my first visit and I thought you could cycle the trails. You are not allowed too. So I walked them and really enjoyed nature at its best. This is a nice and clean place to bring the friends and family. Definitely worth a visit

Michelle Adams

Pretty spot with easy walk to pond. Trails for those who want to hike.

Jonathan Kingma

Great place to take the kids for some outdoor fun!

Constantino Dellasandro

Always muddy in every season and my nephew got a tick on him. Be cautious.

Caroline Wharton

Beautiful and peaceful...just a shame everyone doesn't pick up after their dogs

Carrie Bélanger

Beautiful place for photos

Scott Rankin

Very nice spot for a walk. Very weedy for fishing but a pretty place

J WL

Good place for fishing and hiking, with free parking

Adam Seguin

Great place for a hike. Clear paths.

Crystal Parker

I always love coming here for walks especially as i recover woth my knee. The gravel path around the pond at least has scenery and some wildlife and then if you need a longer hike theres trails off the pond walkway to explore. Its usually quiet and a calm place to go for a walk and relax. A gem hidden in the city.

Shawn Witte

Decently maintained. Closes a little early but beautiful area and nice trails.

x_X_x_an_intersting_name_x_X_x

Good park, nice lake, more for walking around it than swimming in it though

jaia konik

Great place to spend some time. It gets ridiculously busy on weekends and holidays so I avoid those times. Great to see turtles and nesting geese. People fish here but unless they stocked the pond it's really only just sunfish, don't see the point of fishing them up. Most if not all turtles in Ontario are endangered so let them be! The little hiking trails are extra steep, short and fun. Lots of families come here. Washrooms were closed due to covid.

Clayton Perry

Great trails for all levels of hikers. Lots of wildlife. Can spot frogs, fish, turtles, snakes, and all kinds of birds all in one visit. Please be respectful and do not interfere with wildlife, we are their guests.

Sarah Eckert

A beautiful walk, even in some wet weather.

Zack Leduc

Good hike

Joanna B Abucay

Have been hiking here since the 80s!!

Kamana Elysia Crites

Want a quick hike without traveling far or not having to jump rocks or cliffs. This is the place for you. They have different hike paths that each have their own time. AND they call lead to the same pond.

Mike Robinson

A nice natural park to explore, very kid friendly (no playground but lots of trails to explore) A lake stocked with trout to wet a line in as well.

Jessica Arcaro-Ingram

Love this location, plenty of hiking trails, beautiful water walking path and dock. Gorgeous in the fall.

John Gallie

Overall a lot of fun definitely a great place to take the kids and the dog or whoever

Chris Notar

Always a relaxing time here.

Jaime Leclair

Good places for the family to go for a hike good for all ages

Jessica Davis

I have always loved St. Johns. The trails are well used but still great, and although i was worried when i saw construction around the pond, I think they 100% improved both the look and the practicality with the new wider walkway and boulders that stop the corrosion. Its a great place to bring the family; young and old! Very accessible.

Darla Williams

The nicest of family places!

yung pine

Love hiking here. Some days we just stroll and relax around the pond. Very relaxing.

Max R. Bailey

Nice park with easy hiking trails and a fish pond

Eric Labonté

Nice place for a day hike.

Eric Labonté

Nice place for a day hike.

Greg Adams

Wonderful place.Beautiful spot for a walk.I highly recommend it.

Stoopid Munkeys

Great place to bring a tinder date after dark for some uninterrupted butt stuff in the car.

Graeme Hogg

A fantastic place for younger kids to go with family and friends. Trails are reasonable with great variations and a pond full of wildlife. I'd love a couple longer trails but it is very enjoyable overall!

Jason Zhang

Good place for fishing, trail is ok.

Amanda Grimaldi

A popular walking spot for locals and visitors. Nice variety of short trails, cute little pond that is mostly accessible to loop around.

mercedes rodregues

went for the first time this past November on a Sunday morning, looking forward do going back in the spring. because I'm not good at following maps, some areas feel like more markers could be added.

Alexander

Beautiful drive down to the conservation area. Same can be said for the grounds. Trails are built around a small body of water which is a hot fishing spot. There are three trails to explore each a little longer than the other. Consult the trail map prior to walking. Trails are all well kept and mostly flat with slight elevation changes. Make for a great walk through the forest. If you’re lucky you may even see some wildlife.

Kendra Crossley

Took our boys there for Thanksgiving. Its always a nice area to walk around the pond. I've been many times when I was a kid. The only thing is they need to upgrade the washrooms.. yuck.

Colin Semple

My favourite Niagara Conservation park. Trails are easy, under an hour and well kept. Nice pond feature, very scenic.

Illyria

Very amazing my family and I go there to hike a lot.

Andrew Reid

Fantastic park hidden just north of Fonthill. Park is extremely accessible and very good for both young and old. The park is stocked with trout so fishing is good but difficult. The pond is very stressed from heavy fishing but the rewards can be very good with the right bait at the right time. Trails are excellent and well maintained. Watch out for the edges of the trails ticks are present and will get you in the tall grass and bush on the side of trails.

Eveli Alberti

Nice walk, not very long. We visited it in winter, some days after a snow storm. The landscape was wonderful, but certainly it is a nice place to go no matter the season! Good for taking the kids.

Rick T

A great place to take the family and little ones will love the pond and the fishing that goes with it. Great for walks as the paths are well laid out. We were walking on one path and a group of deer ran by us - quite exciting and glad we were not in the way! Bring your picnic and decent walking shoes to really enjoy the various paths as many are perfect for the beginner. Handicapped friendly as well along the main area around the pond. It is just a laid back, relaxing place to commune with nature!

Roy Reid

If you come from 9pm on you can watch ppl makin out in their cars.... smokin dope and drinkin.. .. cops never come out here

Erika Weisenberg

One of the many beautiful park areas in the Niagara Region, and always one of my favourites to visit. You will always see tons of active wildlife, especially of the aquatic variety. You can take the quick path around the pond area, or go for a longer hike on one of the trails. Plus, accessible parking is available and there's an accessible fishing dock too! I highly reccomend checking it out for yourself if you love nature.

Trevor Proulx

Great hiking area with varied terrain for different abilities.

spaghetti eddy

Great place to take kids or dog for a walk. With a nice hiking trail

Jud Stade

Just moved to the area and recently checked this place out! Beautiful area! Very fun hikes for the whole family!

Shawn Freer

A picturesque little hike in the Niagara area. Feels like you're away from everything. It has a mix of shorter and longer trails. There are some challenging hills depending on your fitness level. The path can be muddy in places. As a bonus our party met 6 deer in the area.

Brad Haycox

Beautiful area with a small pond that is great for kids to fish in. Benches all around the pond, paved path, and some foot bridges. Area is clean and well maintained. Will come back again, repeatedly.

hayden clement

Nice and quiet

Saul B. Chogz

Liked it. The kids enjoyed the hike!

Berqy123

Awesome

Jenn Phelan

Followed the Blue trail "Tulip Tree". Was a very relaxing hike, with some steep inclines to provide a bit of a challenge. Geocaching available, for those interested. Large pond for children to fish. Aesthetically pleasing as well! ????

정인석

Good to walk with kids about 30~45 mins

Nolan Thompson

Good fishing.

Michael Thomas

Wow! What a gem of a spot, great fishing, peaceful trails , friendly locals

Jeff Farrow

Great spot for a family hike

Dan Klaassen

Good place for a walk, especially if you have a dog! The longest loop takes about 40mins at a steady pace, with moderately steep, but short climbs, and varying terrain and foliage.

M Kiro

Beautiful trails throughout the area, good for year-round use. Pond attracts many species of birds.

Lori Peters

This place was so beautiful! This is a walking path around the pond, and this path is fantastic for those who have mobility issues. We'll be back!

Kyra Moate

Perfect place to bring kids. Lots of wildlife to see, the pond trail is good for strollers, and the accessible dock is a good place to fish from

Rahat Ali

This place is close to the nature. It's a jungle which is safe to visit with the family. Don't go without your camera, upper or a rain jacket, mosquito repellent, waterproof boots, and drinking water. There are lots of mosquitoes in spring , there's no access to drinking water, and track is muddy. I went alone Sunday morning but I visited again in Sunday evening with my family. it's a good trout fishing and photography spot. Please keep it clean and make some cash donations to support it.

wolf dorak

Beautiful park to visit for nature walks and a little fishing.

Jacqueline Speck

I have been going here since I was a kid, good trails, perfect for a quick hike. Good for families as it's not too large or dangerous. Lovely large pond with spots to sit/ picnic.

Mike Little

Wet but enjoyed walk not busy.

Hunter Walsh

I love this park. From when I was a kid fishing here. Time now always taking the dog for a walk.. It has many trails most of which are not to long. There are bathrooms, which is more like a fancy out house. Quiet, clean, and most times not to over busy with ppl. Signs and plaques that tell you all about the area as you venture through also (which I find interesting). Over all you must check it out once, it's a nice little spot even to relax and jus listen to nature on a good morning.

Wayne Burnham

Absolutely beautiful

jasmin Esteva

Good place to do my walking exercise around the park.

Julia J.

(Translated) Nice place for a walk. (Original) 산책하기 좋은곳.

amalia epp

Beautiful

Derek Stonier

So beautiful here any time of year

Marguerite Mattie

Great place to bring kids! Some shorter hiking trails in case kids get tired out quick. Also a good place for fishing at their reasonably sized pond. We usually end up seeing chipmunks and turtles and all kinds of fish every time we go. So all in all a fun little outing.

Larry Vanstone

What a gem! Stocked fish pond with wheel chair accessible path all around (wheel chair accessible fishing platforms too)plus some aggressive trails around the property. Great family park.

Teresa Walters

Great place for families or solo's. Be warned though, no electronic outlets on premises

logn

Great little conversation area for hiking.

Mitchel Edgar

Always amazing

Tina Faragalli

Absolutely beautiful here. Great place to take your fur baby for a nice long walk. (on leashes please) You can fish and if quiet, can see some wildlife also. Very peaceful!

Caleb

Perfect park for kids

Paul Timothy

Great place for hiking and trail running! ????

TOM

Free parking , well maintained, Natural beauty.

A perfect pond in the heart of the Shorthills

So beautiful

Aaron Belding (thatABDguy)

Excellent variety of trails to take plus the beautiful pond at the centre point of it all.

Caroline M

Great place to bring kids and to have an easy stroll in nature.

Justin Turner

A hidden gem that I hope doesn't become the next decew falls (overcrowded)

Bruce Leigh

Started out for a short hike but it was such a beautiful place today that I took the long trail.

Laurie Wickabrod

One of the best places in the Niagara Region for hiking. Bring the kids to fish for the day in the pond. Or relax and enjoy the beauty of St John's Pond.

Lina Gonzalez

A paceful trail with different paths to go for a short or a longer walk, fishing is allowed and it is pet friendly. A Beautiful place to read, have a conversation or simply relax looking at the pond and the surrounding nature.

David Jackson

Super cute pond.. little muddy on the bush trails but my kids loved it ...

Ian Crossley

Was a great hike last year towards the end of summer. My little ones enjoyed it and it made great memories. Will be back this summer for sure!

Coreen Vocal

Great for hiking and exploring!

Nicolas Vocal

Awesome park

Jason M

One of our family's favourite places to go for a stroll. The walkway - trail around the pond provides a nice vantage point to view plenty of wildlife.

Wayne Harvey

Great place for a short or long hike. Lots of different trails. Beautiful place.

Adam Meijaard

Beautiful trail, good for families and shorter hikes

Renee Thompson

Great place to walk and hike. Parking lot and roads are quite full of potholes though so drive slow if you don't have a car with good shocks and clearance.

Varghese Kuruvilla

Awesome Place! A must visit ????

Chinmay Patel

Nice and quiet place.

C Sasani

Love coming here to be surrounded by nature. The trails are challenging enough to give you a workout. There’s some small hills

Ken Chudzik

Great spot to take the kids mine love it there

Braunson Yager

Beautiful place for a walk or photoshoot!

Ella RoseDay Marten

Love this place! Go here a lot! Really is beautiful and great for hiking. Bathrooms are disgusting though but it’s outdoors so I guess it’s fine. Parking here is very nice and beautiful. Love seeing nature untouched. This is really amazing. Love how you don’t have to pay just to see nature, you have an option to donate (and i do that). And donating is just better because you get to choose. Do I want to or do I not? Overall, beautiful place, happy with my experience :)

Patrick Lavoie

Great time! Very nice place and a nice drive to get there too!

Alex 143

Such a great place away from the busyness of life. Great walking trails, a nice stocked trout pond to fish in. A great place to bring your kids and let them enjoy nature at its finest.

Christopher Mott

Went fishing here, it was pretty decent all things considered. My friend had an easy time retrieving his rod after dropping it as the waters are shallow. Not to mention he caught more trees than fish. 9/10

Lmjes

Great area for hiking, trails were easy to follow and well maintained. Lots of cute doggos to enjoy the hike with. Even my cat had a good time!

Gordibidi team

(Translated) Park with beautiful wildlife (Original) Parque con hermosa vida silvestre

Andrew McNaughton

Had such a great time hiking here, what a beautiful location in the heart of Niagara.

Adam Moreau

Great place for a walk. Wonderful assortment of trails and nice to relax by the water afterwards.

Holly Leighfield

Clear trails, with varying difficulty. We have been going here since our kids were in a stroller. There is a wide, accessible cement path that goes around the pond and several non-wheelchair-accessible paths through the woods. Very pretty, a fun place to explore.

Sage

I've been going here since I was an infant. This place is a home of nostalgia for any local that grew up and had to learn about wildlife or pioneers. It's a cute accessible trail that isn't too large in the shape of an oval around a frog pond. For those looking for more trail there are forks off of the main oval to adventure through that are also not too difficult but offer more for a longer hike.

Harold MacDougall

Great park for a family hike. The fish pond is a hit. Various trails of varying length or you can do them all.

Naturally Yours

Great place to hike and walk the dog

Lisa Colburn

Best place for the kids to hike.

kelly jones

Best place to walk and take in nature. So serene.

Denise Pouliot

fave place!

Troy Roberts

The paths are hilly, and sometimes wet, you'll want decent boots to do the trials, but it's a beautiful walk. Or you can keep to the gravel path around the pond, which always has plenty of wildlife.

Mark Denee

Great place for a walk in the woods, and to take kids fishing in a pond.

Tyler

Nice, clean place for a walk

Alexander Preiss

The scenery here is very nice, but the size of the park is much too small for how many visitors come. The four trails are each a little different but tend to run a little short. The pond in the centre could be good for fishing, but when it is busy people just end up on top of each other. Even if you visit during an off-peak time, it would be hard to spend a good portion of the day here.

Leah Benner

10/10 good family fun

Capturing the Crumbs episodes

Always a super enjoyable hike! Lots of trails, wildlife and learning opportunities. Also a great backdrop for photos. There was a dead goose this time belly up and heard from our group that another one attacked it and broke its neck, soo sad.

Lara Huynh

Centrally located in the region. Stroller friendly / easy walking paths.

Henry Flattery

This is such a beautiful place to go for a hike! It's basically right in Fonthill. There's a large pond that is stocked with trout and you are allowed to fish. The trail goes all the way around the pond and there are tertiary trails going off in various directions. As with most conservation area trails there is a cash donation box to help them maintain the trail for all of us to enjoy. Please be generous. We are so lucky to have these trails to enjoy. Today was a crisp sunny day and there were many families hiking. The trail is dog friendly. And we met a lot of friendly dogs!

Guenter D

Well its a nice and short trail with a Lake where you can fish and relax. You should give it a try.

Nigel Libby

Great spot to hike, good short trails for young families, and longer trails for those looking to stretch their legs. The pond here is home to turtles, geese, ducks and small fish. I wouldn't recommend fishing here if you want to catch anything worthwhile, the poor guys have probably been tossed in more times than they remember. If you want fish, go to Lake Ontario or Niagara River. If you want to hike, st John's is for you. ????

Ascending Guru

Great place to go fish or hike with yourself, girl or boyfriend, wife and kiddos. Bring food for the ducks and a net for the turtles.

Roger Sabourin

Too many people ignoring safe social distancing. Where are people's manners?

T

Excellent place to hike and relax. 4-5 different trails with different levels of difficulty. Excellent place for kids. Bring bread to feed the geese and ducks

Lino Iapaolo

My wife, children, and I along with our dog truly enjoyed this park. We were pleasantly surprised with the trails, trout pond, and scenery. I would highly recommend going to visit and taking in all of the sights. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed.

Tracy Rorras

Great place for a family hike! Beautiful scenery, full of outdoor adventure.

Zelda

my new favourite place to bring my dog

Derek

This is a nice place with good little trails. Beware of crazies and loose dogs however. I was charged at by a couple off leash dogs today and assaulted by their entitled hot head trailer trash owners but otherwise it is good. I have been here about 6 times. This was my worst experience here on Christmas.

Linda Sider

Beautiful!!! Lots of places to sit. Lots of fish. Nice paths.

Schwarz Fam

Always a great hike. We enjoy the path options. From steep haul your a$$ hills to flat paths.. its great for everyone. Usually muddy but thats expected at most hiking spots.

michele brown

Awesome .Thinking St Johns pond is perfect !

James Tessier

We had a lovely time walking these trails. They offered different terrains. We'll groomed paths and all marshy areas had bridges across. Wood highly recommend it.

Joe S

Even better now that they fixed it up and made it more accessible for everyone.

Jeff Kuipery

Awesome place to take kids for a walk

Corrado Scandolari

Nice hike

Jessica Bowie

Great trails.

Beautiful place good fishing for kids.

Devon St. Denis - Richard

Great conservation area. You can sit around the small lake, or go for a hike that varies in difficulty. A good bio-diverse area that is quite relaxing

Jesse M

Always enjoy a quiet walk in nature. There's multiple paths for easy or more difficult trails

Nicole Paduch

Well maintained, beautiful area.

Jason Dugas

Beautiful hilly trails, a fishing pond stocked with trout and various pan-fish, lots of parking, and wheelchair accessible.

Tj Sonneveld

Lots of trails to walk. Kept very clean

Chantelle Reid

Beautiful place to go for a nice hike or fishing

Derek Kedzierski

I have been going to St. John's for more then 25 years. The pond only had trout in it back then. Now you will find bass and bluegil. Don't mind the bass but over run with blue Gil. I think their stocking program needs to be addressed. On opening weekend, the bulk get fished out but if they spread it over the season, it would be more enjoyable for my kids. The weeds in the pond as well as around the edges have become out of control also.

Marilyn Zach

It's a nice quiet place to go

Terri Rozic

Absolutely beautiful!

holli marshall

It was very murky water

Britt Parsons

Great spot for the whole family!

Kenneth Wilkinson

A real fishing pond with trout and scenic trails in a quiet secluded area only minutes from downtown Thorold. Lots of benches around the pond to sit and enjoy the quiet of the day. Access for handicapped is available. Lots of trees that create a colourful display in the fall

Dylan Lampshire

Great little spot, especially if your looking for short trails. Can easily hike here through a lunch break

Victor Goertz

Super nice place to take children. Try your luck fishing, go for a hike on one of the trails or just relax on one of the shaded benches. It was not busy on the Saturday we were there however it can get quite popular on some days.

Dawn Milne

Beautiful park

Jamie Winfrey

Loved coming here ever since I was a kid. Lots of wildlife.

Jonathan Bauer

Beautiful area with plenty of trails. Dog-friendly. Plan to go back and try our hands at trout fishing.

Payton Martin

Parking is brutal but the park is really nice

Robyn Gortson

Didnt catch any fish but fun to hike with the kids

Google User

Decent area with a pretty artifical lake that attracts geese and turtles. Hiking area is small but looks good.

Kevin Purdy

Been hot alergy grown over water still nice trails ti walk threw

Paul Brousseau

Nice outdoor walk.

kerstin Scullard

Lovely walk in the winter. Fishing wasnt to good in summer as water was over grown with algae and a little smelly.

Stephen Ellis

Great place to walk and cycle alike!

Andrea D

Beautiful. Love the pond trail. Stroller friendly, picturesque and free!

Pete Mancuso

Outdoors. That is all

Yves Boudreau

I would have given 5 stars but the consevation changed a lot since the last time I was there a year ago and my dog cut her paw on the newly installed bridges around the pond will have to stay away from pond and only hit the trails.

Mike mike

Not enough mountain bike trails

Angela Waldner

Nice, quite, scenic place to walk or just chill. A few different trails, none of which are hard hikes, but some sith rather steep inclines. Lots of benches and a few picnic tables near the pond to relax.

Kevin Bonnar

Great family spot to spend some time and enjoy nature together.

Valerie Smith

Great place to go hiking with your kids.

Rick C

Loved walking through the trails especially in the fall!

Daniel Garcia

We love taking the kids there as the the trails are short and sweet. The pond is great for the young ones when it comes to fishing and they live it as it's easy to catch. Great hidden gem in the heartland of Niagara

Krys Robins

Nice place to relax while fishing other than the people who catch over their limits and still try for more

Skunked Again

Nice plays for family walks

Mary Jane Dingman

Love nature

Cindy Klassen

A pretty spot near Fonthill. It’s popular, judging by the number of cars during our mid-week outing there recently. The walk around the pond is flat and quite lovely, while the trails through the woods are a little more rugged. Great little spot.

K Hindrichs

Especially gorgeous on a mild winter day with freshly fallen snow for the dog to frolick in!

Cheng

Old forest and quite walking, great for fishing

Gary Sodhi

Very good place to take kids fishing. The pond is a short walk from the parking lot. The fish you catch here are small but you'll definitely catch a few. Not recommend for serious fishermen but definitely good for kids. Last week my 6 year old caught about 15 Bluegills and a couple Bass.

Will S

Great place for trout. Nice scenery

chris jantz

Great place to run

Alex Kremnev

Very well maintained. Perfect for hiking and fishing. You can bring a whole family and spend the whole day exploring.

Donna Edwards

Very lovely area perfect time of year to visit and see all the fall colours

Angelo Melaragni

great hiking trails. Very scenic and peaceful. the 5 or 6 trails range from 15 to 45 minute walks

Paul Taylor

Great place for little kids. Free of charge, outhouses for facilities.

The Carolinian forest is so interesting along with the ponds fed by underground streams.

Nice place for a hike

Linda Friesen

Awesum place

Faith Bulmer

Been going here for years. Its very peaceful and its beauuuutiful in the fall. My favourite place to hike !

JT

Nice walking trails and a great little pond for fishing.

Amanda Mason

My absolute favourite place to go!! This place has such a peaceful, magical feel. I go there almost everyday, or at least almost every week. They have different levels of difficulty in trails. The white trail is longest if you connect it to the blue trail. Yellow is just a short thing that lasts about 5 minutes or less. Red is the next easiest, best for if you have difficulty with knees for going up and down hills as the white and blue are continuously going up and down with some being a little steep. There is a beautiful small spring fed pond and a larger pond with gravel trail around it that is home to fish, geese, ducks and turtles. There is a mini island out in the center that the birds live on and a log that turtles sunbathe on. The geese and ducks are all super friendly and love birdseed. Ive never seen any get aggressive or territorial since they usually nest on the island where no one can make them feel threatened. This place is so beautiful in fall!! It unfortunaly has a large algae bloom problem from runoff of surrounding farms and an infestation of woolly aphid on the beautiful Beech trees. I hope Npca has the resources to help control this or can organize a volunteer cleanup of some sort to help preserve the beautiful ecology.

Adam Deakin

Awesome hikes and beautiful spring fed pond

Matthew Elliott

Amazing place to take your family for a hike or fishing. Beautiful clean location with public washrooms.

Nature Lover Family

Beautiful place to go for walking, hiking and fishing with family and friends. Lots of fish and turtles in the pond where everyone can enjoy and have fun especially the kids. We really love this place especially in the fall. You can enjoy too.

Lindsay Caldwell

A secret little spot that offers Fishing & Trails. I am sure you can pull off a picknick there. It's quiet & beautiful. I would recommend this place to anyone. No matter what season it is I am sure you will be happy that you did.
