C	Cassandra Jewell (Jelly Jellyfish) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I likely would never go on a weekend again. We went last weekend and it was so packed. People were not considerate of keeping any form of space, not even related to covid, just safety in general. A lot of people littering and throwing things in the water. If you do go, we recommend taking the Pine Ridge loop, it will be busy until you get to the turn off. This place has an incredible variety of fungus, some edible varieties and giant puffballs. Its a little sad that people feel the need to destroy the puffballs, they are edible and can be prepared and frozen. We have found some really huge ones in the past there.
C	Clarence Chu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful park with many trails to choose from. I would first recommend the boardwalk trail that goes around a small lake. The second would be the Escarpment Trail which is a more difficult trail but leads to a lookout of the Niagara Escarpment.
H	House of Michelle on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely scenery in a warm winter day. The conservation area is good and easy for hiking. but so sad that some period of boardwalk is closed. Walking along the beautiful Crawford lake is such an enjoyment. The lookout for Nassagaweya canyon is also nice to feel the great of Niagara escarpment.
J	Jephthah Duppati on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stunning, fantastic place & worth visiting the conservation park & learnt so many interesting facts about Crawford lake. Loved the walk around the trail, felt nature closely and finally has good fresh air....do visit & enjoy a great time with your friends and loved ones....
C	Christina Villeneuve on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well maintained trails and easy to follow directions. Great sculptures through the first part of the Forest. Friendly knowledgeable staff. The long houses and all the artifacts inside were amazing to see. We have never seen anything like that. So we were impressed. I highly recommend it!
T	Tim Reynolds on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The trails that they have put together there coinciding with the natural setting is fantastic and picturesque. I love that the longhouse village has been put up there to teach people about indigenous culture in a good way. It's definitely a place to take the kids and a great place to learn.
M	Matthew Shutt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a beautiful place to visit! We went on a cold winter day with snow crunching under our feet and had a blast taking photos and videos. It was not very busy, or maybe it’s just so big everyone was spread out. Lots of easy paths to choose from, plus one challenging one we found heading from the lookout to the parking lot. Lots of rocks on that one path. Otherwise it was pretty easy trekking. Highly recommend for a date, family outing, or a solo journey.
B	Ben I on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a great all season Conservation Area to visit. I bring a camp of kids here several times a year and the kids always have a good time. There's a lovely path that leads down and all the way around Crawford Lake. Most of the path is wooden boardwalk so it's a nice, easy trek. There is a trail that branches off and leads all the way to Rattlesnake Point! (If you're feeling a long adventure) The Native Village is always a great spot to visit as well. Great for learning about some of the history of the land and it's Native people. There are three Longhouses, each very different. One is full of old artifacts and left mostly open all seasons. The other contains a small seating area with a screen and a really cool dig site containing several sand pits with fossils and bones buried inside. Great for budding archaeologists! The third longhouse contains a really nicely designed museum. There's a lot of things to see and do here and would recommend a visit with or without kids!
