Fall is a wonderful time to explore McLaren Marsh at Ken Reid Conservation Area!
With wildlife and waterfowl plentiful, there’s plenty to see as you slow down and take in the sights and sounds of the marsh. Enjoy the fall weather, bring your binoculars or camera, and spend some time watching nature at its best.
Make time for a little fresh air and a closer look at the natural world. Please give wildlife plenty of space and enjoy watching from the trails.

Great views and great company at Windy Ridge!
A few photos from Wednesday's Durham Outdoors Club hike at Windy Ridge Conservation Area. This beautiful, short hike offers incredible views of the Oak Ridges Moraine, made even more special by the beauty of fall.
It’s wonderful to see outdoor clubs bringing people together to explore, build friendships, and share the experience of discovering so many beautiful places in our community.
Thank you, Durham Outdoors Club, for making Windy Ridge Conservation Area and Kawartha Conservation part of your outdoor experience!
