Ken Reid Conservation Area

Whether you enjoy hiking, cycling, or cross country skiing, Ken Reid Conservation Area is a great place to spend the day. Maintained trails and child-friendly facilities provide a variety of ways for visitors of all ages to experience this natural setting. Kawartha Conservation acquired the 110 hectare (272 acre) property just north of Lindsay in 1980 from farmer Ken Reid. It is both our flagship conservation area and the location of our Administrative Centre for our watershed jurisdiction. Parking is available for $2.00 per day. Please deposit funds into the pay and display machine just before the first stop sign when you enter the park and display the ticket on your vehicle dashboard. Ken Reid offers several loop trails that lead through forests, meadows, and wetlands. A favourite route includes the floating boardwalk that winds through the provincially significant MacLaren Creek Wetland bordering Sturgeon Lake.

Wild, untamed, full of birds (and a few beasts : ) ...a great place to kayak, walk, rest on the grass in the sun, or take your kids to play. Terrific for dog walkers too, as there are plenty of trails and quiet areas. I took my kayak in and paddled off the tip of the park for a few hours...and loved it.

A friend was up from the city. When I listed off local places of interest, she choose the Olde Gaol Museum- not a place on my radar and I have lived in the area for many years. I am so glad she made that choice. We had a fascinating afternoon at the museum. Such interesting local history. When you arrive you are given a tour guide who will cater the tour to you- all for 5 bucks! The cells each had different stories and history to study. There is something magical about learning history right in the historical setting. I can't wait to introduce more of my friends to this great little gem of a museum. The only drawback is the tentative hours. I went back afterwards on a Saturday afternoon in the Fall with my nephew only to find it closed with a sign informing us of a number to call.
