About This Business

A 284-hectare conservation area in north Whitby, owned and operated by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, preserving part of the Iroquois Beach physiographic unit and the provincially significant Heber Down Wetland Complex. The natural valley of Lynde Creek bisects the property, offering scenic vistas along more than 5 km of trails for hiking and mountain biking, with a maple-leaf-shaped accessible trail at the main entrance. Popular activities include fishing, nature walks, pond exploration from floating docks and picnicking. Springs and seeps within the wetland complex recharge groundwater and sustain specialized wildlife habitat. A free Avenza trail map is available for offline GPS navigation.
