Winter Weather Notice

Conservation areas remain open daily from sunrise to sunset for passive winter recreation such as hiking and birdwatching. However, note that natural trails are not maintained for winter recreation such as cross-country skiing, and parking lots and sidewalks will be maintained on a ‘as-required’ basis.

Visitors are reminded to take precaution and prepare appropriately for the weather and trail conditions, especially when inclement weather and conditions may arise. In the event of inclement weather, NPCA conservation areas remain open, but activities and services may be limited and facilities may be closed. Please expect maintenance delays in the event of heavy snowfall.

Check NPCA conservation area pages on Facebook for closure postings, as these are updated regularly.


Conservation Area Strategy

The NPCA developed a Conservation Area Strategy (CA Strategy) focused on sustainable management, long-term planning, and alignment with NPCA's strategic goals, ensuring compliance with the Conservation Authorities Act. The CA Strategy provides high-level guidance for managing NPCA conservation areas, focusing on biodiversity, climate change, invasive species, and greenspace accessibility, with specific site priorities to be outlined in future management and action plans starting in 2025.

Land Inventory

NPCA’s Land Inventory identifies every parcel of land that NPCA owns and includes some basic information for each parcel, such as location, acquisition date, method, and land use category, among others. The Land Inventory will be reviewed and updated from time to time and is an internal document that is not available online. 
 

Located in the Twenty Valley watershed, this Provincially Significant Wetland can be found at the south shore of Lake Ontario at Twenty Mile Creek. The kilometre-wide harbour offers a public launching dock for non-motorized watercraft. This waterway is one of the largest uninterrupted natural corridors left in Niagara between the escarpment and the lake. Jordan Harbour is protected as an Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) and contains a variety of unique wildlife and tree species that are rarely seen elsewhere in the peninsula.

Acquired from the Province of Ontario in 2005, improvements have since been made to the access road, providing a dedicated parking and picnic area.

Jordan Harbour is a wonderful place to enjoy a leisurely 2-hour canoe, kayak or SUP paddle along the picturesque shoreline, around the reed islands, feel and hear the roar of VIA and cargo trains from under the main-line train bridge, snapping pictures of the swan, geese and duck families, and the shore logs covered in sunbathing turtles. Occasionally there are sightings of bald eagles, golden eagles, beavers and jumping fish.

The helpful staff at NRSPC will make the experience easy and safe for young and old, with or without experience. More on this wonderful amenity at www.niagararowingschool.com.
