The Shore Ridges Conservation Area is 443 hectares (1100acres) of land including 366 metres (1200feet) of shoreline. Found within the city limits at the junction of Sunnyside Beach Road and Shatruck Drive, the area is easily accessible to residents and visitors alike.
The Conservation Area has two trails for year round use by hikers or cross-country skiers. The upper Indian Ridge Trail offers a view from the escarpment and winds its way through hardwood forest. The lower Beaver trail is on a beach terrace surrounded by marsh. There are also lesser used trails such as the Deer and Grouse Trails. The Beaver Trail is located on one of the beach terraces formed thousands of years ago when the water receded from glacial Lake Nippissing. The terraces were created by erosion as the water moved progressively closer to the present day shoreline of the St. Marys River. As you move along the Beaver Trail, you will be walking along a sandy path in the midst of swamp and forest. These provide natural walkways for wildlife and were once used by loggers. Cache is a small container with items to trade, log book and pencil. Parking is available on Walls Rd. near the trail entrance. Pull over onto the shoulder. Congratulations to SSMTRVLR on FTF!
