Reviews of Windy Ridge Conservation Area (Zoo)

Angelo Garcia

Nice trails

Matt Gray

A great place for a short winter hike and tobogganing. The trail is easy and short, perfect with small kids.

Jilaine Shay

For a relatively shorter hike, had a lot of fun and well maintained.

jennifer hexham

Simple but a nice spot to relax!

Doug Macintosh

Beautiful spot

Bayardo L (Bayard0)

Nice short hike with a great lookout. Variable elevation along trail.

Leslie Dart

Short hike with a beautiful look out! Seems to be open enough that it isn't too buggy so long as there is a breeze.

Stuart Smith

Be careful on the slope, it gets icy.

Ilya Mironov

Absolutely beautiful place touched by the hand of God!

Jeff Brown

Nice area but is a small basic loop track.. the lookout has a picnic table for breaks and is probably the best part

Tom Worsley

A short trail but with challenging steep spots. Worth the walk up to the lookout.

Nathan Gilbert

Great view!

Lauren Newton

Really great spot for a short hike with little kids; fantastic lookout.

Amanda Aube

Went during winter, lots of sledding, girlfriend lost Swiss Army knife, let me know if you find it please, she misses it.

Anna Sweet

Love going here with the kids, great walk, even in the winter...lots of birds to see, sometimes you can see the porcupine, no fees, usually pretty quiet, good parking, toilet facilities available, can be a bit of a climb if you go all the way around, wear good shoes, and keep eyes peeled for treasure :)

Robert Legault

Nice hide up the hill, with a beautiful view. Only wish the trails were longer.

Mike Richards

Nice lookout but thats about it

Paul Schortemeyer

Great walk even in the snow. Nice information at the top

Stephen Phillips

Justin

Short trail with a lookout over looking Pigeon river

Rosanna Zerafa

Nice place 1.3km trail, easily walked in less than 30 minutes

Helena Verdier

Short drive from Lindsay. Quick loop up and down a hill with a great view as payoff and passing waterway and meadow. Not crowded. No toilet.

Emily-Kate Hunter

Trails are fairly short and really fun. Gorgeous look out. Our last visit followed a thaw and refreeze, so some trails were slippery on hills. Overall, an amazing place.

I finally decided to check this trail out with my dogs, so glad I did!! It’s a nice short loop, we did it twice. The first few hundred meters are uphill, and pretty early on in the hike you’ll reach a stunning lookout point, have a seat at the picnic table and take it in. The way down is just as beautiful, then at the bottom you’ll walk along the lake and then along a field. The whole walk is wonderful!! Most of the trail on the upper parts is single track, then the lower parts are double track.

Nikki Johnstone

Lovely hike. Beautiful view from the lookout.

Seeking nature one more place to visit

Ed K.

Beautiful place to go walk and watch the sunset, very quiet and peaceful

Astrid

Great place to walk the dogs!

Jean L

Nice trails, very nice view. The only negative thing I could say is, people need to pick up after their dogs, you have to really watch where you step on the lower part of the trail.

Alex Childs

Nice view of the Pigeon River and Bethany Ski Hills

L H

Ok for a walk but not much to see

mary hill

As advertised. Good birds.

Samantha Chin

My son and I wanted a short hike so we headed out to Windy Ridge on Dec 14th at about 4:00pm. The trail was a little slick so we stayed to the sides and really enjoyed the walk. Just as we got to the top of the lookout, we were engulfed in a show squall! Though visibility was low, it was easy to follow the clear, cut trail back around to the parking lot. We had a great time.

S Clare

This is a beautiful little hike! Definitely a bit challenging if you haven't been on a hike in a while. I recommend starting by going left to the lookout, it's a lot easier that way!

Aggie Martinez

Great little spot

David Rossall

Only got about 5 mins in when we had to turn back for being swarmed by horseflies. It's mid June, perhaps a bad time for them, but it was so bad we had to run back to the car! Trail itself looked lovely and wish we could have walked the whole thing.

Ian Aubrey

Good little hike trail. If you want more of a challenge, from the parking lot go right. You will climb a steep hill. Less of a challenge go left from the parking lot.
