GEORGE G. NEWTON NATURE RESERVE TRAIL
The George G. Newton Nature Reserve Trail is located in a 40 hectare former farm property that is owned by Ontario Nature. The nature trail winds through an old pine plantation and the remnants of the farm’s orchards.
A side trail takes you through a white cedar forest and along a stream valley where it stops at an old dam where a sawmill once stood. Parking (3 or 4 cars) is available at the access point for the trail.
We would also direct you to read our DISCLAIMER and our TRAIL USERS CODE.

Love this trail and it’s historical past history. I have used it a couple of times over the last ten years or more and will continue to do so. Thankful to the original persons who donated this property and to those who look after it. I appreciate it more now then ever that it is still open during this crazy time… would love to see it get extended in length if at all possible. Nice secret ‘hideaway’ LOVE
