Backus Heritage Conservation Area
A memorable family day trip while you're at the cottage. Conservation activities and exhibits, walking and cross-country ski trails. Turn back time, and explore the 19th-century Heritage Village with historic grist mill, general store, and lunch at Aunt Erie's Kitchen. Look for cottonwood trees, tulip trees, flowering dogwood, wildflowers and ferns in Canada's largest remaining stand of Carolinian forest. The "Backus Mill" is pure magic! On Regional Road 42 near Port Rowan. Call 519-586-2201.

Bring your clubs to the cottage, and enjoy the only provincial park in Ontario with its own golf course! This beautiful 316-hectare park is also great for day excursions. You'll discover beautiful trails for walking or cycling, a fish culture station and hatchery pond, oak savannah, marsh ecosystems... and of course, nine holes of golf. The park and surrounding 1,200-hectare St. Williams Crown Forest are also a great place for winter activities, including cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. No park services are provided in winter. On Regional Road 10, less than a kilometer from Turkey Point at the top of the hill, or just up the hill on Old Hill Road. Call 519-426-3239.
