Nature Trails
&
Guided interpretive Walks
Our 30 acres of trails are open to the
public by appointment, we can provide a knowledgeable
guide who can provide information
on some of the many woodland flowers and shrubs, our managed
forest plan, as well as talk about the topography
and
glacial deposits that make our property so
interesting. Those that wish
can walk the trails on
their own, but we recommend
that the first time you visit you request a guided tour
so as not to miss any
of the wonderful sights to be seen.
We are located just 20km south of Owen Sound,
Ontario, about a 1 hour drive from Kitchener or 2 hour
drive from Toronto,
London or Barrie.
The best time to visit is in the spring
when each week a new selection of wildflowers
emerges to catch the sunlight filtering through the
budding trees. As the trees
leaf out and the sunlight is further reduced on the
forest floor the
undergrowth turns green and provides hiding spots for
the many birds and
animals that call our bush home. In the fall as the
leaves turn colour and gradually
fall from the trees other flowers emerge and the fruit
of the spring flowers
turn colour and add to the display.
So no matter what time you visit it is a
pleasant afternoons stroll through the woods. Do come
and see, we love to meet
fellow nature enthusiasts whether knowledgeable or
simply interested. We cannot
in good faith keep this unique and natural property all
to ourselves.
