The Springwater Conservation Area campground is now closed for the season.
Reservations for the 2010 camping season will begin on May 1st.

However, hiking is always open with the Catfish Creek Conservation Authority! 
There are several properties with fabulous scenic trails open to the public.
Contact the Administration Centre weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. to pick up your
copy of our full colour Guide (see below) to trails at each of these properties.

The Catfish Creek Conservation Authority has released a colourful
new trail guide to help people navigate the many kilometres of trails
through its major conservation areas.  The Guide was designed to
encourage more people to walk in the woods for health’s sake, and
was sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotions and
supported by the St. Thomas-Elgin Health Unit.

The twelve-page document features photographs of many of the
woodland creatures the hikers will meet, and contains maps of all
the major trails for the Springwater and Archie Coulter Conservation
Areas and the Yarmouth Natural Heritage Area, just east of the
Village of Sparta. 

People who are seeking a great way to have a close-up look at the turning of the leaves
this fall can pick up a free copy of the trail guide at the CCCA office on Springwater Road.
