★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is a gem if you come prepared - you can walk for easily 2 hours right here in town. In the spring you WILL need rubber boots, in the summer you WILL need bug spray. One consideration is that the terrain is rough and there isn't a great spot to sit down en route, so it's not a great option for anyone with limited mobility. Perfect if you have a dog that needs a LOT of exercise, there is an off-leash area with a Flick with a Stick policy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I used to go in here regularly, but no more. They are charging $5 to park, and walk these trails now! They get money from the city, from the federal govt, which is all taxpayers money, and now they want more of your money. Disgusting money grab. Pay to walk in nature, the ontario way !

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice conservation area located just on the edge of town, close to Loyalist College. Trails are well maintained and its a nice loop. Worth coming in different seasons to see how the colors change and to see the wildflowers blooming. Lots of frogs and the odd other amphibians and reptiles, haven't seen any turtles on the main trail side of the conservation area though. Definitely recommend coming here for a walk, or a picnic on the bayshore side. (Also *photos Ive posted recently are older photos, just being reposted, since I've noticed a lot of the photos at this site are gone now, and Ill post new ones in the next week or so*)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were greeted with a nice warm smile and didn't have to wait long for help. The lady that helped us was new to the job but she knocked it outta the park once she got going. Gave us great info and tips and we were on our way again. There are nature trails in the back that let you get some exercise and fresh air...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Quinte Conservative or as the locals know it Potters Creek. We take our family and dogs here year round and the paths are usually pretty well maintained. Not always but usually. In the winter not at all tho and it's like skating on snow ice rink the first 5 minutes in lol, but once you get past it and to the trails with tree coverage it's manageable and painfully beautiful as you can see in my pictures. It's more of a feeling than seeing tho. It's so quiet, serene and clean with the snow blanketing and soundproofing everything in the winter. It's very peaceful.
In the summer the paths aren't always mowed down so the grass is long and you might pick up some tics the odd time.
Depending when you go year round is how many people will be there, but it's usually not to to bad. In the summer on really nice days it gets really busy, but just walk deeper into the trails and it gets quiet again.
The farther you go into the trails the less people you will see and for some reason the better the trails are more worn down IMO. I'm assuming from the animals since we've never encountered people when we're back in the farthest area of the trails lol.
Overall tho this my favorite trail to do is Belleville because of the lack of people and the nature and wildlife!
FYI:
-Because it's a conservation you might run into some deer and the odd other wildlife sometimes. Especially in the last bit of summer and during fall.
-This is an amazing place to do photoshoots! Especially when the apple trees bloom and the apples fall everywhere in the autumn. ???
-It's dog friendly also. It's an on-leash trail, but if you respect others and theirs and most people won't mind if you let yours off-leash if your dogos are friendly!
