History of
Conservation Area
In 1959 the County of Haldimand obtained this former farm property. It attained "approved park" status in 1961. Shortly after, the County made several improvements including the erection of an octagonal pavilion, reforestation of 25 acres and an attempt was made to control the erosion of the beach, through the use of gabion groynes. Camping was established and a day-use zone was proposed in 1963. In 1975, ownership was transferred to the Conservation Authority. The Authority added more campsites, (both serviced and unserviced), better washroom facilities, a playground, game courts and shade trees.

Conservation Area
