One of the largest marsh systems in Grey County, this area is 668 hectares of escarpment upland forests, three major marshes, Ducks Unlimited dam, Bruce Trail access, reforested areas, and several small springs. You can hike on 11.9 km of trails, experience the Bognor boardwalks, observation tower and view the interpretive plaques along the boardwalk. This is a multi-use area visited by hikers, naturalists, birders and hunters (during the fall season).
Trails connect with main Bruce Trail route.
