This 5.31 hectare sanctuary shelters a wide variety of wildlife including deer, fox, beaver, rabbits and birds. Discover a small covered bridge, several ponds, waterfront parks and a pebbly beach that slopes gradually to Lake Ontario. Accessible from the Estate of Nawautin Shores, Lakeshore Road, south of Grafton.

Adjacent to Nawautin is the Waterfront Trail paralleling the north shore of Lake Ontario which constitutes mainly quiet back roads throughout Northumberland County.
