The extensive wetlands of the Mountsberg Conservation Area are a birdwatcher's paradise. Waterfowl and shorebirds clamber about a misty lake while hundreds of warblers flit through forest and meadow. Nature radiates at this scenic conservation area, which offers great trails outfitted with boardwalks, birdfeeders and interpretive lookouts. Visitors can take in that first taste of spring on a horse-drawn wagon ride in the Mountsberg Sugar Bush where maple syrup, pancakes and sweet sugar candy create indelible family memories. See a live birds of prey presentation at the Raptor Centre, visit the farm animals at the Cameron Barn and watch young ones have fun in the PlayBarn. Mountsberg offers a wide range of educational programs and tours for schools, day camps and organizations.
