An interesting stop on the Forks of the Credit River.It is presently closed to the public but when it reopens with parking and visitor facilities I am sure its rating will soar. A unique geological area in the midst of beautiful back roads and park like settings.

The Wine and Food show took place here. The grounds and building are just beautiful. What a wonderful setting. The Show itself was very, very well done, albeit a little expensive. But nonetheless, a wonderful relaxing afternoon. Would come back again to wander for sure.

My husband and I went to Belfountain Conservation Area today. We live in the area and have never been. What a lovely spot to walk. There are a few trails that are well marked and have good information as to how easy/hard and how long they are. We took the "pond" trail so that we could see the suspension bridge and the bell Fountain. It is also a very easy trail. Getting to the suspension bridge there are a lot of stairs but, the good thing is that you don't have to go back up them. You could go in the opposite direction and avoid the steeper stairs. We spent about and hour and a half wandering the pond trail. I am a hobby photographer so spend a lot of time taking pictures. It probably would have taken about half an hour to hike the trail without stopping. We went on a warm Saturday morning and it was not too crowded although the parking lot was full. It cost us $10 to park and a little over $4.00 each entrance. We paid the senior rate. We were going to take the Trimble Trail but there was a sign saying that it was difficult so we decided not to. When we got home and looked at the maps we probably could have taken the Belfountain trail and the Gorge trail. We will try that next time we go and we will definitely be going back. It is quite a peacefull/pretty place to wander. There are benches along the pond trail and places to sit at the bell Fountain area. There is no swimming or bbqs allowed. There are picnic tables. I saw some people with kids walking in the river. There are clean washrooms and vending machines for drinks and snacks. I would recommend this for an outing.

This is a fun scenic drive but I would suggest a car, I had difficulty negotiating some of the steep terrain and tight winding turns on my motorcycle. Nice quiet country secenery.

The book section is organized very well with a children's section, a young adult section and and adult's section. I often shop for novels for myself and my classroom.
There is an ever changing selection of furniture, you might find something that interests you. Personally, I was able to purchase a teen's desk at a very reasonable cost. All money goes into community programming, and when my child nolonger wanted the desk a few years later, we donated it again to the ReUse store.

A very nice place to stop at. The cascading flowers in their pots are amazing. The fresh organic fruit and vegetables are affordable, and so are the pies. All the jams and preserves are home made in Canada. A very nice touch.

Reviewed By gentlemansportion - Toronto, Canada
As we watched a couple of World War I planes fly past the museum hangar, I couldn’t help but remember the song from the old movie, Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines. The guys fixing the planes in the workshop like to talk about their machines and the artifacts in the replica of a front line hut are fascinating. But the highlight was seeing a Sopwith bi-plane chasing the Red Baron’s tri-plane across the sky. A modest fee for entry, but one has to become a member if you want a ride. It’s all run by hard working volunteers and well worth a visit, especially as we commemorate the anniversary of the Great War.
