Cedar Valley Conservation Area

A great area! Better and more signage is required. The map near the parking lot is faded, very hard to read. People should not litter here; that is each individual's responsibility to respect the environment. There is a garbage can near the parking lot and you can always just take it with you to dispose of at home.

Great spot in north Oshawa to go for a quick nature hike. A couple different trails that take you through some birch Meadows and evergreen forest

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the experience I had at Conservator Trails. The dedication to providing an exceptional service truly sets you apart from other hiking trails I've visited in the past. I will definitely be recommending Conservator Trails to my friends and family and look forward to returning again in the near future.

Huge area of green space, mixed forest, quite close to downtown of the city, 2 small parking lots, a few trails around there with access to a picturesque scenery, no special signs about dogs, so dogs are allowed whether on leash or without.

Fabulous trail! A little challenging in some spot because everything is still melting from winter. Stairs are better going down.

A sweet little conservation area. Took our Scout Troop there to clean the trails, which was much much needed. A lot of unsafe fire pits were found, trails are still quite muddy and even flooded in places.

There’s one garbage in the whole park.
Great trail great spot to calm the mind. Not five stars because it’s not maintained through winter.
It gets Icy

Beautiful trail, well kept and lots to see. Amazing views of the water for a large portion of the walk.

Nice trails for when you have time to explore but paths are not well marked. Some signs mark paths that are not maintained, making it easy to lose the trail and get lost

Nice little trail. Some of the trail markers need to replaced. Quiet. Limited parking. Not to difficult. One major hill which is quite step.by the creek at the end. But there are hand rails to help.

Great spot nestled in the middle of a residential area. I took bike through the trails.

I lost my sunglasses on May 23,2021 at around 6-7PM. If you find them, do respond to this comment. Thanks!

This is a massive park with a lot of hidden gems. One of the best parks in the GTA area, and it's my favorite in Durham region. You can easily get lost, and there are many hidden trails. Some of the hiking trails are difficult and a little bit dangerous but always use the creek as your guide. Parking is free (we pay high taxes in Oshawa) but not many spots are available. Enjoy the hiking but stay safe, pick up after your dog, and respect your surrounding.

Absolutely beautiful + peaceful. I'm truly surprised this piece of heaven exists within the city. Definitely worth checking out. Our family had a lovely time.

It is very nice and relaxing
But I would like to add that the home less have throw garbage all over certain parts of the bush making it annoying for the people that actually legally live there
Please enjoy but please carry out your garbage respect and enjoy the nature in our city

Nice place to get away from the city, while still being in the city! I didn't explore many of the trails, but the ones I did take made me feel lost in the forest. My dog loved it! Saw a few clearings with fire pits, so I guess people camp here. Not sure if its allowed, but they're there.

Amazing hiking trails, although the trails were a little short it was beautiful nonetheless. There is a little tree house by the ravine called "The healing house". Make sure to check it out when you're there. Thank you so much for the person who dedicated his/her building this gem!

Short trail but still fun. There are two options one is a short 0.3km and the other is 0.9km. Signaling is decent (albeit confusing at times) and trail is mostly clean.

Had the most romantic picnic with my wife. Our dog joined us and was on guard the whole time. Beautiful park!

Awesome place for a walk in the woods with your kids my dad used to take me and my sister there when we were kids before all the houses were built all around there and there was a driving range are there still great to bring your kids or yourself very cool

Awesome place to walk through the woods. Lot’s of people take their dogs here. A few cools spots to go tobogganing but are pretty dangerous. Still lots of fun but pretty steep and lots of things to crash into. Ask me how I know.we love coming here in the winger mostly as there are less people walking around. You might find some people “camping” back in some of these parts but I’ve never had any issues. Lots of great photo opportunities just a really fun place to explore any time of the year.

Remember to stoop and scoop people!

The trails are lovely but we went with our family and our dog and there are used condoms all over the parking lot and used drug containers. It needs to be cleaned up.

Come here during any time of the year and you'll have a good time. There's a maintained park which has 1 main trail through it and a bench. That trail leads to 3 trails, one directly by the creak close to Simcoe St, one leading into the forest and then into the creek farther south, and one leading into the university. All three main trails converge at different places and have many smaller trails leading off.

You can see salmon in the stream at different times of the year, cool trees, bunnies, a lot of trash, ducks and occasionally others.

I love it cuz it's pretty private dont see alot of people, but you probably wouldn't like it and shouldnt go ;)

Everytime I come here the mosquitoes are thick & frightfully abundant.lol. Maybe its just me but you have been warned.
