Enjoyed a lovely afternoon hike here today. A fairly easy walk, a bit of an incline in a couple of spots testing my cardio, but mostly leaf path and flat rock surfaces. Saw fields of violets, trout lilies, woodpeckers, eagles, and new spring growth on moss. The lookout was beautiful. The trails are very well marked. If you like rock formations or forest therapy, this is a great place to go. Travelled from Ottawa so it was also a nice drive there and back. During this time of COVID 19 isolation, this is just what the doctor ordered!

Nice conservation area with some great look-out spots, easy to access and very clean kept grounds and facilities. Trails are marked relatively clearly although the "COVID 19" era changes like the "one way" designations don't seem to make too much sense and are restrictive in trip planning. There is a parking meter that accepts coins at the entrance or you will have to go through a rather cumbersome account setup in order to pay via an online third-party named Paybyphone. Not too bad for someone with a smartphone (although I wasted almost 10 min trying to setup an account instead a simple insert card and hit OK)) but it might pose some issues with people that are not that tech savvy or just don't have a smart phone. There is an automated call process to register but I would assume it to be even more cumbersome. Perhaps patrons should keep in mind the demographics they target next time they make a business decision like this. Five stars for mother nature, one star for who came up with the idea of "paybyphone" , unfortunately, results in an average of three stars

A very beautiful place to visit for people who enjoys nature and it’s beauty. The fall season has a lot of picturesque scenery to offer. Not crowded, once inside the conservatory area, several road side parkings available for short stay to enjoy the nature and take pictures. Cliff view is awesome. There is waterbody too for people who enjoy waterside view. A walk through the forest is also interesting thing to do as you can also enjoy the Tyndall effect through the woods

Had a wonderful fall hike on these trails with my dog today. Very pleased to see such well marked trails, making it very easy to navigate. The terrain was a little rough in some parts, I wore running shoes, but would wear hiking boots next time. Great to see many animals including 5 deer, ducks, a beaver, and many other birds. Absolutely great day. Would recommend.

This is a great place for hikers. The green ponds here are particularly charming under the shade of the trees. The report on the appearance of bears on the 10th of this month in the guide area reminds visitors to be safe. This attraction is very big, not too many tourists, it’s a great choice for friends who like quiet.

Made a well decided stop here today with my good friend Vic, after having it suggested to us by another good friend. We took a 2 day motorcycle ride and made a point of travelling down this area. It did not disappoint. Fantastic views and beautiful roads throughout the entire area. Loved it
