THIS IS A PARAGRAPH
Deciduous and coniferous forest, and swamp with seeps and springs, and beautiful spring ephemerals.
Located north of Bowmanville, Stephen's Gulch Conservation Area protects a large area of deciduous forest and coniferous forest/swamp that help maintain both water quantity (through seeps and springs) and water temperature along a significant section of Soper Creek. Stephen's Gulch Conservation Area also includes a portion of the provincially significant Soper Valley Area of Natural and Scientific Interest. Visitors will enjoy the 3 km looped trail through the forest and valleyland and the spring ephemerals that create a carpet of colour at Stephen’s Gulch Conservation Area.
Now open year round.
Have your cameras and phones ready for photos and videos as you never know what you might see.
