Situated on the rugged Niagara escarpment, Terra Cotta Conservation Area consists of 508 acres which is slowly being transformed back to its original beauty. To help the area recover from its former use as an intense recreation and camping site, in recent years an award-winning naturalized wetland has been created, replacing a stone swimming pool, while the forests have been enhanced by planting. The 308 acre Terra Cotta Forest adjoins the Conservation Area, providing a real sense of wilderness right next door the ever-expanding urban development.
Terra Cotta is a trail lovers paradise. A variety of trails take visitors past the forests, fields, lakes and ponds of the Niagara Escarpment surroundings, and link up with well-known Bruce Trail, and let you experience natural settings, so close to urban and rural developments. The trails at Terra Cotta accommodate all levels of trail users, from beginner to expert with a variety of terrains and distances.
