Selwyn Conservation Area Trail
The northern portion of the Conservation Area has been left undeveloped, except for the establishment of a hiking/cross-country ski trail. The trail passes through a variety of habitats, ranging from wetland to woodland and open field. It provides an excellent opportunity for visitors to discover a variety of plants and wildlife in their natural environments.
The Selwyn Beach Conservation Area is located on the north-east shore of Chemong Lake just 20 minutes (approximately 27 kilometers) from Peterborough. The conservation area offers its visitors a natural setting for relaxation and outdoor recreation. The Selwyn Beach Conservation Area provides a multi-purpose, day-use facility with access to Chemong Lake, while protecting the natural beauty and features of the site.
