There are two Conservation Areas within the municipality, both of which have superb walking trails that you and your family can enjoy.

A.W. Campbell Conservation Area – The Millennium Trail 

The Millennium Trail takes the hiker through a 3.3 km loop around the A.W. Campbell Conservation Area.  The trail traverses deciduous forest, floodplain and meadow and treats visitors to a host of wildflowers and interesting tree species such as the blue ash.  Several side trails can be taken for shorter walks.  The conservation area includes a campground and the Campbell House Museum (open for special occasions), and is home to the annual Maple Syrup Festival in March.

Big Bend Conservation Area

This 16 hectare property is situated within one of the largest meanders of the Thames River, a Canadian Heritage River.  A short trail takes hikers from the walnut grove parking lot, along the fishing pond, to the purple martin house.  You can also access the trail from the parking lot by the bridge over the fishing pond.  Visitors can extend their walk and create a loop by walking along the quiet roads within the conservation area’s camping and picnic areas.

Other features of the conservation area include:  Arn’s Memorial Forest, open space for sports and games, fishing, and a serviced building with washrooms and showers.
