Reviews of Mac Johnson Wildlife Area (Tourist Attraction)

Susan

Peaceful and serene

Derek Humble

A walk in the park. Get away and soak up some nature.???? you can skate and x country ski here too.

Dru M

A beautiful park just north of Brockville. Lots of walking trails to enjoy. This is one of the many recreational areas that make Brockville such a great place to live or visit.

David Myhill

Beautiful scenic trail, great for a nice stroll.

Melanie Tremblay

Love this place and tons of places to explore around there along with the brock trail.

Meaghan MacKenzie

Great place to walk, skate or have a fire. They have a gazebo so picnics and BBQS would also be a good idea. There are multiple entrances into the park, free parking and bathrooms. It would be nice if people picked up their dog poop but they don't so beware! Also found other nasty stuff I wont speak if here. Please take your garbage with you!

Joe Johnson

Lovely trails, and very acceptable washrooms, Good roads into the Reserve and it is well monitored.

Heidi “organicroadmap” Csernak

Not far from Brockville is this excellent green area to explore, relax, or walk one of the many trails. Gorgeous views of the water in the winter (or any season, really) and when spring comes, wildflowers blooms and the swans return.

JP Desaulniers

It's absolutely beautiful here.

rodrigo martinez

It's an amazing place to walk and relax. I walked with my dog and she was so happy in the trails. They just need to put more trail signs ..

Lots of parking. Great place just outside of Brockville. Canoe launch area too. My photo is taken from the Centennial Road location.

A nice place to go for a short hike. It's generally on a flat terrain but unfortunately not many views of the water.

Very nice nature area, great for gatherings and events, with decently maintained, lengthy trails. One of the few places around that doesnt charge a silly daily use fee.

Mac Johnson is a lovely area for a winter's hike. It started to snow while we were there. I just wish people with dogs would clean up after their pet. The trail at the south end is getting pretty disgusting.

We love the Mac Johnson Wildlife Area! I work with a non-profit hiking group and we have people there weekly. The trails are amazingly maintained and the Friends of Mac Johnson have been incredible when we work with them. You are doing yourself a disservice if you live in the area and haven't been here!

Kedar Warriner

Great trails

SOUTH TRAILS NEED GROOMING BIG TIME.

Guillaume Sanchez

Beautiful in every aspect despite mosquitoes. And of course, you have some animals there :)

Kay Jay

Went for an evening walk with my sister here. I was so amazed at the beauty of the place, I had to catch up with her every other 5 minutes. Right after the parking lot is the beautiful pond + lake area where you will most likely see the lil geese family with their lil ones roaming around. They are the cutest! That feeling of breathing in the crisp fresh air and the smell of earth was just priceless. I couldn't stop myself from taking pictures of this place as it had so many varieties of trees/landscapes/flowers/insects. We walked around for 2 km and rewarded ourselves with a well deserved bacon bbq burger right after ;(

Elliot Thomas

Pretty well kept, but more trail markers would have been nice with multiple tails about.

Chris Marchand
