Mac Johnson Wildlife Area

Went for an evening walk with my sister here. I was so amazed at the beauty of the place, I had to catch up with her every other 5 minutes. Right after the parking lot is the beautiful pond + lake area where you will most likely see the lil geese family with their lil ones roaming around. They are the cutest! That feeling of breathing in the crisp fresh air and the smell of earth was just priceless. I couldn't stop myself from taking pictures of this place as it had so many varieties of trees/landscapes/flowers/insects. We walked around for 2 km and rewarded ourselves with a well deserved bacon bbq burger right after ;(

The area is beautiful, filled with pine trails, cedar woods areas, around a reservoir filled with geese and loons. Yet, our objective was to walk the boardwalk trail. When we finally got there, there was a very old looking official sign that said do not use. They could easily put signage up at the beginning of the trail in the parking lot area.

Great place to walk, skate or have a fire. They have a gazebo so picnics and BBQS would also be a good idea. There are multiple entrances into the park, free parking and bathrooms. It would be nice if people picked up their dog poop but they don't so beware! Also found other nasty stuff I wont speak if here. Please take your garbage with you!

I have been to many parks and lakes but I have never found such peace and tranquility anywhere that I found here. No noise except the birds chirping and the ones made by the insects. Every little splash of water or any little crack can be heard if you sit in silence. Perfect place to rejuvenate and enjoy the peace.

We hiked the north trail off Centennial a couple of weeks ago right after a snowfall and you could smell the pine trees. Everything looked and smelled so clean. The boardwalk along the river was very scenic. Easy flat hike. Went into Brockville after for lunch at Cosies. Excellent English breakfast and scones😀 …
