Lake Laurentian Conservation Area

Lake Laurentian Trails is an activity and sightseeing destination located south of the community of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The community of Sudbury is located in Rainbow Country in Northeastern Ontario.

The Lake Laurentian Conservation Area is a protected wetland enhancement area which measures 950 hectares (2400 acres).

The conservation wetland area consists of 55+ kilometres of recreation trails popular for hiking, jogging and biking in the summer months and xc skiing & snowshoeing during the winter snow season.

During the winter there are trails which are designated for xc skiing and trails designated for snowshoeing. On site there is a warming hut for those hot chocolate breaks and quality conversations.

The main trail exploring the protected green space area is an old gravel access road. From the access road there are many single-track trails going off in all directions leading to birding sights, lookouts and viewpoints.

The trails are well signed and marked. The viewpoints provide wide ranging views of the wetland and lake with some viewing areas equipped with sightseeing benches.

The highlight of the trails are the many bird sightings and the boardwalk bridge which crosses a narrow channel on the lake.

The trailhead entrance is located at the end of South Park Drive. There is a large parking lot with a trail map. Just prior to the parking area is the Tom Davis Commemorative Forest.
