Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area
Rattlesnake Point is one park that will take your breath away, whether you are hiking the Nassagaweya Canyon Trail, running the Vista Adventure Trail, climbing up the side of the escarpment, or just admiring the view. Even the plant and animal species at Rattlesnake Point are impressive, with turkey vultures soaring through the air and thousand-year-old cedars growing from the rock. When you have had enough breath-taking scenery, come back to your breath and into downward dog at an outdoor yoga class. Namaste.
Crawford Lake Conservation Area is a truly exceptional park with a truly exceptional lake. In the deepest part of the lake 75 ft below the surface, sediment is deposited in annual layers and remains totally undisturbed. Scientists researching this sediment in the early 1970s discovered corn pollen dating from the 13th to 15th century. This led to the discovery of the archaeological footprints of a Wendat or Attawandaron village. Three longhouses from this village have been reconstructed on their original footprint to help educate the public about the area’s Indigenous history through programs, exhibits, gardens, and workshops developed with Indigenous partners of the park. Along with the teaching village Crawford Lake features trails for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing as well as a trail filled with larger-than-life wood carvings of species at risk and a boardwalk that winds around the lake.
