Marshlands Conservation Area — Attraction in Ontario

Access this conservation area at entrance to Trailhead Place off King St. This used to be a portion of the Rideau Trail. Parking is free, access is free. You can follow a trail along the West limits of the golf course for about 1km when you come to a broken bridge/boardwalk. There is a sign posted indicating the trail is closed. The access from the north side of this trail used to be off Greenview place (Queen Mary, Bath Road) but when we attempted this access we found a sign indicating 'private property - no conservation access' with a second sign posted at the opening between trees posted on what appeared to be a new wood storage shed. Looks like the detour around on the city roads may become the new trail, disappointing. This is a valuable precious resource for the City which hopefully is put back into operation...

Great place to be outside enjoying nature in its many beautiful forms. There are trails to explore, wildlife to observe, picnics to be had, people watching, sunbathers and of course sometimes one runs into the Naturalist. I have seen couples enjoying themselves in nature's grandeur, heads up. It may be inappropriate for children. Joggers, runners, cyclists, cross trainers and outdoor enthusiasts are often seen on this part of the trail. This trail starts/ends on QueenMary Rd North side of Bath Rd. When starting from that point it takes you to the Parkway which continues to Princes Street. A leisurely 20 minute walk in...

Really nice patch of nature in central Kingston, with a fairly decent trail and a boardwalk through the marsh. Its really peaceful in the winter especially after a fresh snowfall, especially if you come on a slower day closer to sunset, as you can watch the orange glow of the sun as it sinks through the trees. I definitely recommend checking the conservation area out if you are in the area and want something to do that's outdoors. Will definitely be back in the spring/summer months to enjoy the greenery...
