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.


The Humberstone Marsh Conservation Area is comprised of 82 hectares located in the City of Port Colborne and protects wetlands and area waterways. Enhanced by the presence of the nearby Onandaga Escarpment, this peat/muck filled basin is one of only three such features on the Niagara Peninsula, the others being Wainfleet Bog and Willoughby Marsh. Passive recreational activities including bird watching and seasonal hunting can be enjoyed here. There are no trails or restrooms at the Conservation Area.

For information on hunting at this site, please visit npca.ca/administration/hunting-application.
