I'm a photographer (@rahiphotos) and I absolutely love this place. Great for photos, hiking and to just sit and enjoy nature. Got everything from water, trails and cliff. Worth taking a trip down there.

Absolutely gorgeous place I’d love to come back and explore more! The amenities are a bit more expensive compared to similar places I’ve been like Shades Mills and St Marys. The beautiful hiking views make it worth it though! We paid ~$50 for four people. Theres boating, a water obstacle course, and a small snack/food shop. Wish boat rentals closed later than 6. Lifeguards also get off at 6! The way down to the beach is a long staircase or a hill which is not great for older folk. Change rooms are open so expect to change in the bathroom if you aren’t comfortable with that. Bathrooms are cleaner than some I’ve been to!

Beautiful conservation area in Canada. Worth a visit if you are ever around this area! Water was COLD but what else can you expect from a river? Surprised by the number of lifeguards. Family loved it here, come here and check this area off the book!

Trail markers and directions could be improved. A LOT. Restrooms / porta potty could be placed in more places. Fantastic beach area. The trail map/brochure that is available should really be mapped in the north direction. It is confusing the way it is now. Otherwise the trails are good. Views are better.
