The Harold Town Conservation Area (HTCA) is named after the Canadian painter who owned this property from the mid 1970s until he passed away in 1990. On April 11, 1994, the property was donated to Otonabee Conservation. It was named in his memory and was dedicated as a park for public purposes, as requested by the estate.

People may think of HTCA as the place where mountain bikers go, but it is so much more than that. There are 10 kilometers of multi-use recreational trails that hold lots of wildlife (including 166 species recorded in eBird), and many different plants for pollinators. There is a scenic view from the top of the Meade Creek Drumlin, and the area has been identified as a significant natural heritage feature within the Otonabee Conservation watershed.

Come join Steve Paul for a fall outing to take in the beautiful scenery. Bring your hiking boots, binoculars, camera and make sure to dress for the weather of the day. Register after October 6 by e-mail to [email protected]. Final details will be sent to registrants closer to the event date.

Accessibility: Moderate. There are hills to climb and loose rocks in some areas
