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.
Gainsborough Conservation Area is a rugged park with no formal trails or activities. It conserves a forest block with sloughs (‘wet pockets’), a diversity of plants and limited disturbances, making it an ideal refuge. The public is welcomed to this property to enjoy the tranquil and peaceful woodlot. Parking is available next to the NPCA workshop located on the property.
