Depot Lakes Conservation Area is nestled in the heart of the Land o’ Lakes tourist region, just north of the village of Verona. This Conservation Area is 1,214 hectares (3,000 acres) in size. Second, Third and Fourth Depot Lakes make up this Conservation Area, and offer some of the best fishing in eastern Ontario. Launch your boat at any one of the Lakes, and take advantage of some of the best fishing in Eastern Ontario.
Day use activities include hiking and paddling. There are approximately 9 km of hiking trails. Hikers should be aware that the terrain is rugged and appropriate footwear is required. Out on the trail you may see deer, moose, black bears, a variety of bird species and many other small creatures. The hiking trails begin on the west side of the Seasonal Campground area, about 1 km from the main gate.
The trails at Depot Lakes Conservation Area (2nd Depot Lake) remain open year-round. Hunting is not permitted within Quinte Conservation Areas. We encourage visitors to wear bright colours during this time, as hunting may occur on adjacent lands i.e. Third and Fourth Depot Lakes are closed to public access during hunting season
