PIGEON
RIVER CONSERVATION AREA
The
Pigeon River Headwaters Conservation Area is an exciting
125 hectare park that offers dog paddlers the opportunity
to experience a multitude of natural features. It
is famous for its cold water streams and underground
springs which intersect the trail many times throughout
our day. This beautiful forest is filled with a mix
of mature hardwoods, towering 100 year old hemlock,
cedar and maple trees, open meadows and wetlands.
Wildflowers are abundant throughout the year... Spring
brings trilliums, trout lilies and spring beauties,
while in the fall, the leaves paint the surrounding
countryside with their dazzling shades of red, orange
and yellow.
This hike is of easy to moderate difficulty.
The route offers fewer hills, a boardwalk over a marsh
with a flatter forest landscape. Several great swimming
opportunities for the dogs. Location:
Port Perry region (NE of Toronto)

a beginner hiker, or just for a hiker who hasn't been
in a while and needs to limber up and get the old
hiking legs in shape.
