Massassauga Point Conservation Area — Attraction in Ontario

$5 to park on PUBLIC LAND I pay for not only through taxes but through donations to the conservation authority. Even through you NEVER see anyone there performing maintenance. Money hungry.

Parking is free at many other outdoor places in the area, and these places are often better maintained and oftentimes have better views. There’s nothing special about this area, you could walk along the shores of the bay on the Belleville side and get similar views and it’s equally busy in both places... probably less so in Belleville as the trail is...

We really enjoyed this park. The trails are great for walking. We biked today and had to do a couple loops. Great place for photos with the water as a back drop. There is a covered area for lunches. The park looks well used and there is a parking app? Apparently they are asking you to pay for parking via an app? Not exactly sure what that is all about. In a sad reality that is screen dependent, I feel the direction of parks Canada and Ontario parks should be to ENCOURAGE OUTSIDE activities, not discourage...

Was here for a photoshoot with family. The trail looks nice and well maintained, seems like an easy trail overall.

Warning Saw 2 snakes within minutes of each other, 1 near waters edge bathing on a small rocky shore not too far from entrance of the trail and one crossing the grass near that area Both were dark in colour and approx 2 feet in length. I’m no snake expert but having kids with us made it slightly more concerning.

I’ve added a waypoint in the picture to show where they were...
