 From the crest of the Oak Ridges Moraine, to the shores of Lake Ontario, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has been protecting areas of natural significance within its jurisdiction for many years. Today, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority owns over 2,250 hectares of conservation land in an effort to protect significant wetlands, valleylands, forests, meadows, groundwater resources, aquatic environments, and other important wildlife habitats. Some of these conservation lands include floodplain areas that have been acquired in order to help protect life and property from the hazards of flooding.
Although some of the conservation lands owned by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority have limited public access (in order to limit the disturbance to certain sensitive lands and/or wildlife) many of the conservation lands are important to the public for the recreational and educational opportunities that they provide. The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has five conservation areas with over 45 Km of trail and other public facilities that are perfect for a wide range of activities including hiking, picnics and wildlife viewing.
All proceeds collected from admission ($1/ person) or parking fees (Max. - $5/ vehicle/day or $2/ hour) in the conservation areas goes back to maintain and enhance the facilities for your enjoyment.
