Rattray Marsh Conservation Area

This so wonderful place to spend entire day with friends and family. Take food, water, games, barbecue, beach access is so easy. Washroom facility is available. Splash pad for every one as well. Lots of picnic tables available. If you are choosing public holiday try to reach around opening time by 8 am as there are 4 parking lot but all are full. Do not park anywhere in parking lot as there is penalty tickets we seen on random park cars. Parking is free for whole day. It was so nice experience

A great place to hang around. Lovely atmosphere and trails to walk. Beautiful view of city of Toronto. Its too far still its a mesmerizing one. Will recommend to go and enjoy with your family or friends. Children can play around in the park. Lot of parking places.

Beautiful place to walk with the kids n your pets. Peaceful… I came all the way from Toronto to come take a walk to this beautiful trails

Rattary Marsh (Conservation Area) and Jack Darling Memorial Park (A Dog Walkers Paradise) strive to create a park area for Families, Nature Lovers, and/or for those who enjoy walking their dogs for both off leash or on leash activities.The nature area trails in and between the park and conservation area cover a total distance of approximately 6.1 km. with ample walkways, play areas, lookouts and access to Lake Ontario. There is access to a number of washrooms as well as parking in the park side of the area. Some of the walkways are wet and muddy so it may be advisable to wear hiking boots especially when there is melting snow or when it is raining.Both areas are fairly well maintained, and the Conservation area has received a new walkway which allows for comfortably walking around the edges of the marsh.My wife and I were there on a weekend, when it was moderately busy. We were somewhat annoyed by the occasional garbage, cans, and excrement left behind by some irresponsible people. It might be useful if there were a few more signs encouraging people to properly dispose of their garbage (not throwing it to the wayside), and to clean up after their dogs.Putting aside the exceptions mentioned above, we really enjoyed our visit to the area. There are many opportunities for observing, photographing and enjoying nature and its wild life.

We started our journey going to another place, but got lost and found this parsdise-in-the-making.The Credit Valley Conservation Authority has worked hard to bring this area back to life after the Emerald Ash Borer took its toll. A beautiful path led us through various paths, some as long as a kilometre, others just a quick 0.2 km. Each brings it's own beauty and the promise of better things to come.At this time of year, it's best to dress warmly and wear boots, as the path is not just wooden planks.Markings along the way describe the invasive species that destroy the local flora and fauna. Several spots to sit and contemplate the nature abound.We took the path less taken, and it made all the difference.

A very nice area, great for a short hike, almost completely covered with a boardwalk. It's connected to a larger park with beach access, playgrounds, and splash pad. We were there early morning and left before lunch at which point it just started getting crowded with few parking spots available.

This trail is a hiddenl gem along Mississauga’s Lake Ontario shoreline and with the pedestrian boardwalk with overlooking anatural wetland. This park is very unique and it is connected with the park. The downside is the parking. But highly recommend this trail park.

Such a beautiful place to visit and spend your leisure time. You can enjoy the marsh land, trails and beach at the same time. We went in the evening time and the sunset view was awesome. Would like to go back again.

This is a great place to go for a nice walk. All of the trails have a boardwalk and paved pathway. So there is no getting muddy. It has a nice view of the marsh and a beautiful view of the Toronto skyline. There is a small beach area there. No washrooms available as far as I know. No bicycle allowed on the trail

This park is a unique experience for nature lovers and is a must-see for avid birdwatchers. This environmental gem along Mississauga’s Lake Ontario shoreline features a shale beach and pedestrian boardwalk overlooking a natural wetland.Once you walk pass the waterfront area, it will lead you to multiple small trails to discover wildlife including herons, rabbits, beavers, deer, foxes and more. One can easily spend 1.5-2 hours exploring the area. Have amazing lake view with waves.The park has almost 4 different parking lots, still it gets full during weekend as it is free. Quite busy park, you will see people celebrating birthdays and much more.
