Comprised of 77 hectares of stream valley lands and wetlands on the shore of Lake Ontario. The Waterfront Trail traverses the property and walking/hiking trails provide access to shoreline, Newcastle Marsh and Wilmot Creek.

The Samuel Wilmot Nature Area is comprised of stream valley lands and wetlands on the shore of Lake Ontario. Wilmot Creek and the marsh are both significant components of the ecosystem of Lake Ontario’s north shore. Because of its location along the lake’s northern shoreline, the area receives large volumes of monarchs and other migrating pollinators that move through the region during the fall migration.

Directions:  Go North on Hwys 35/115 to Hwy #2. Then East to Cobbledick Rd. and South to the parking Lot.
