Much of the trail is on or near exposed bedrock, which is part of the Canadian Shield. Marble Rock Conservation Area gives hikers challenging and picturesque terrain, featuring breathtaking views at the lookouts along both the North and South Trails. The diversity of the biosphere is evident at the Conservation Area which is rich with flora and fauna. Deer, otter, beaver, blue heron, grouse, frogs, interesting insects and wild turkeys can be seen along the trail. Wildflowers, fungi, mushrooms, lichens, mosses, ferns and many species of trees including mature birch are sights to be seen throughout the conservation area.

HI there,
I wanted to enquire about the entrance fees for four adults for a visit in August. Also do you have putwear recommendations.
Thanks
Fran
Fran, my understanding is that there are no entrance fees at this site, although there may or may not be a donation box. You might want to check with Cataraqui Conservation for further confirmation at info@crca.ca or 1-613-546-4228 or 1-877-956-2722. Not sure what you meant by “putwear” but if you are referring to “footwear” keep in mind that this trail as some somewhat challenging sections and suitable hiking footwear is recommended.
Hi there
We are planning to go to the marble rock trails. Is the trail access open on Sunday Sept 6th?
I couldn’t tell you! Ontario Nature Trails is simply a database of trails within Ontario. Over 1,200 of them. We do not own or manage any of the trails. It will be necessary for you to contact the appropriate trail contact which, in this case, is Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority Phone: 613-546-4228 or info@crca.ca However, as you are writing on a Saturday of a long weekend I suspect they will be unavailable to answer your query. You will just have to take your chances.
