The 30-acre Brook Conservation Area, located on the Lynn River in the Southeast corner of Simcoe, provides opportunities for nature watching, fishing and hiking.
At the entrance to the trail, one can see the remains of a shoddy mill that was once operated by the Brook family. The trail provides access to the Lynn River for fishing and links to the Lynn Valley Trail.
Trails totalling 2.3 km go over a dam and through a forested area providing opportunities for walking/hiking, fishing and nature appreciation. The trail includes some hills and has a natural base with exposed tree roots. A small picnic area with a few tables is available. The park is open sunrise to sunset and it should be noted that the entrance gate is locked each evening.
The trails at Brook Conservation Area are open year round.

The park entrance is located at 35 Simson Drive in the Decou subdivision in Simcoe. The subdivision is off Decou Road which is accessed east of Hwy 24 south at the stop lights in front of the Whitehorse Plaza (intersection of Norfolk St S & Decou Road).
