About This Area - Toronto Springs Conservation Area is
located in Camden County, 5 miles east of Montreal on State Road E,
then 1 mile east on State Road A, which forms most of the southern
boundary of the area. The conservation area was established in 1986
with an initial acquisition of 532 acres. Two additional land
purchases have expanded the area to its present 569 acres and have
improved public access to a 2.5-mile section of Wet Glaize Creek.
Toronto Springs, a multi-outlet source, has a flow of 2 to 4
million gallons per day. In the late 1850s, a mill was built near
the junction of Wet Glaize Creek and the spring branch.
During its heyday, the Toronto Springs Mill was reported to have
served locally produced cheese and beer to patrons waiting for
their grain to be milled. It also served as a community center,
where elections and church services were held. The only remaining
clue to the exact location of this important mill are the
springs.
The area offers a 10-car parking lot off State Road A for canoe
access to Wet Glaize Creek. Two other parking areas, one on State
Road A and the other on State Road C provide access to ridge top
forest areas. Toilet facilities or approved water are not provided.
