Parkhill ON
Canada
Each season brings something new at the Parkhill Conservation Area. The 800-hectare conservation area is a result of efforts to control serious flooding and erosion problems downstream. The Parkhill Dam and reservoir were constructed in 1969 to create a storage area to regulate the waterflow of Parkhill Creek. The recreational opportunities include canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking and bird watching. A rest area for travellers, known as the Scenic Lookout, is located on the east side of County Road #81, just north of Parkhill.
The conservation area is open seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset, unless otherwise posted. The boat launch is open from April until November, from sunrise to sunset, unless otherwise posted. There are no formal trails here, but the Scenic Lookout offers a chance to stretch your legs and enjoy the incredible view. Contained within the Parkhill Conservation Area” is a privately managed campground called “The Great Canadian Hideaway.”
