Laurel Creek Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

This quiet section of Laurel Creek Reservoir offers open views across the water, a contrast to the surrounding forest and meadow trails. The reservoir was created in the 1960s for flood control and water management and is now a popular destination for paddling, birdwatching, and outdoor recreation.

Hardwood Hollows Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This forest trail passes through one of Laurel Creek Conservation Area's woodland habitats, offering a quieter alternative to the nearby reservoir and meadow trails. The dense canopy provides shade through much of the route, while seasonal changes make this section particularly attractive in autumn when the leaves begin to change colour.

3.12 km

Wetlands Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail passes through one of Laurel Creek Conservation Area's wetland habitats, where shallow water, cattails, and marsh vegetation provide food and shelter for a wide range of wildlife. Wetlands play an important role in filtering water, reducing flooding, and supporting birds, amphibians, and insects. The contrast between open wetland areas and the surrounding forest makes this one of the most ecologically diverse sections of the conservation area.
