Harold Town Conservation Area

Reviewed By 714timp - Peterborough, Canada

I've been out to "Harold Town" as we call it here, several times over the years. There are a number of trails of varying difficulty and lengths at this former ski hill. There is a steep hike (the old ski hill itself) and there are gradual inclines and flat walks too. PArking is rather limited but I have always found a spot to park. Currently (November 2018) the road to Harold Town is closed due to repairs to a bridge on Old Norwood Rd. There is a detour, not too long. People will bike and run on the trails all the time and people with dogs. It's 5-10 mins from Ptbo - well worth it.

We were impressed with the quality and quantity of the dinosaur exhibits, particularly the action ones. The drive-thru takes about 25 minutes and is good value for money. The young kids and grandkids will love it!
