    A beautiful place to come and explore the trails! Visual Arts Missisauga is situated here as is a small patch dedicated to flowers and also allows children to learn about leaves and animal paw prints! We came at six pm and walked down to the river where some folks were fishing! Quiet Meditative spots abound! The gurgle of the river is v soothing

    The place is beautiful and serene all year round. Has scenic trails beside a river. A refreshing piece of green in the heart of a bustling city. Be it fall colours or the tulips of summer, just a walk in the conservancy leaves you refreshed.

    This place is awesome. There is a beautiful garden in the entrance before you go on the trails. There are three trails. You can go round trip too. The beginning is quite steep. But the trail are quite short. There are often volunteers introducing the local fauna and birds/animal you might run into on your way. There are a lot of birds to be seen. On certain spots they will come to you and pick from your hand if you hold still with bird feed in your hand (sunflower seeds are quite popular, even with the woodpeckers).

    One of the best places in Mississauga to visit. Few trails with a peaceful environment and one can just walk around or May be small trip with family. You get to see different species of birds and they are so beautiful!

    This is a great place for a walk (or bike ride too, paths are wide enough and people do). Trails are long enough that you can have a long walk. Views are lovely. Also there is a garden if you like flowers but it’s not huge. My wife and I come here often for some exercise and fresh air. Great way to “escape the city” while never leaving it.

    I recently visited the beautiful park filled with an array of colorful flowers, and it was truly a mesmerizing experience. The park's vibrant and well-maintained flower beds created a picturesque landscape that left me in awe. Specially Trails and the way Sun was Shining throughout the tree 🌞 Can't express in words just Mesmerizing ..

    It is a nice place for trails. You can see many small animals in the wood. There are a few different trails available in the area and along credit river. I would highly recommend the city to provide more wayfinding signs. As for new trailers, it is quite easy to lose your orientation and get lost in the wood as there are many small shortcuts along the trails. Signage is definitely needed to help people navigate through the area.

    Excellent place if you are a beginner who would want to get into walking trails. There are always some kind of events happening (check their website). It's impossible to book a slot for astronomy watch. Every season pretty much offers something beautiful to see here. There are mini forest trails, bird watching and fish runs. I'm pretty sure you will have some amazing pictures on your smartphone/camera before you leave this place.

    Lovely area for taking professional pictures with a couple of nice older buildings and well-maintained garden(s). Good location for bird watching (could see robins, cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, chickadees, etc.) Some of the trails are prone to flooding in early spring, they were under water end of March 2021, but still sufficient trails to walk.

    Very nice place with a lot of trails to walk along the Credit river. This is the best time to see fall colors. There is a visual art galaxy and they have some art classes but did not check more details. Nice place to visit with your kids as well. A good place for bird watching as well as for fishing. Not busy during the week as expected.

    Great place for a nature hike, with the humming of the leaves in wind and the flowing sound of the Credit River. Lots of birds and chipmunks along the beautiful trail. There is an Art centre where many events happens often, and a nearby small botanical garden with variety of flowering plants. Washroom also available on the art centre premises.

    Had a lovely time walking through the trails,, beautiful gardens, flowers are gorgeous. Only problem was navigating through their maps, was difficult to read them to follow where the trails were, otherwise great nature walk.

    A peaceful and quiet place for morning walks. Can see the beauty of nature closely in the summer. The river looks wonderful from the bridge and at one point it looks like a spectacular waterfall.

  • 5/5 Ishe 1 year ago on Google
    Quick nature getaway where you can do a little hiking, go bird watching, and refresh yourself near the river.

  • 5/5 Inna E. 2 years ago on Google
    A peaceful stroll through the forest with a few different trails. This time we followed the Red and Culham trails. Pretty easy, suitable for kids. This is an art structure at the entrance to the Riverwood Conservwtory.

    Hiking trails & Cycling. If you would like to walk in a natural environment, visit this place. Riverside Culham trail. Not for large gathering or hangout. Calm and cool place at riverside. Long walk at riverside. Birds, turtles and fishing. You can get down to river, but make sure water flow is safer.

    Beautiful and peaceful park.I keep going here for sightseeing,walking and hiking every season. Edit : Tulips in Spring season in Burnhamthorpe road in front of the entrance to Riverwood park

  • 5/5 Lithrean T. 10 months ago on Google
    Super relaxing hike, definitely plan on coming here again in the future. Not too difficult.

  • 5/5 Ilya T. 3 years ago on Google
    The trails are very nice: within 1 hour walk there's interesting change of altitude, views of streams of the winding Credit River, different types of woods and near-river habitats (don't know the names of!) bird-watching in the spring, salmon jumping out of the water in the fall, and all of that within 10-15 min drive from any place in Mississauga! Also, the place is very well taken care of, and near the art centre there are amazing photo sites in the spring and fall.

    Had the best fall colour experience here with the morning walk. We went on October last week where the actual fall colours were visible. Moreover, they have separated as yellow trial and Red trial based on the lead colours. Atleast spend 1 hour to see the beauty of this park.

  • 5/5 Vivian H. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best trails in Mississauga. It is super beautiful, and dog friendly. They even have an art center in the middle of the wood. These pictures are taken today with beautiful maple leafs. Highly recommend for a nice walk. Beautiful falls colours too!

  • 5/5 Nitesh S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place with a lot of trees and a river. We enjoyed it a lot. The park is way bigger and we completed only 20-30% of it and loved it. Will definitely visit again. People were fishing, walking, and cycling. There are awesome fall colors that you can enjoy.

  • 5/5 Zosia S. 1 year ago on Google
    It is in the middle of the city but once you enter you might feel as if you are in the country side, enjoy tranquil walks in the small forest, garden full of flowers, variety of birds and butterflies and if you are lucky enough you might even spot a deer

  • 4/5 Alenric A. 1 year ago on Google
    This trail is very nice and kept pretty clean. My only concern since it's my first time going here was maybe provide a map or path markings to know where you're going. Overall, my family enjoyed this trail

  • 5/5 Shailee N. 1 year ago on Google
    What a beautiful place to hike and spend time. Amidst nature and vast horizons. I have been this place couple of times in summer and enjoyed every bit of it.

  • 5/5 Arpit M. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden gem in the heart of city. Long and nice trail connecting two parks. Lash green trees, flowing river, variety of birds and some wildlife. Best season to visit is fall. Lots of parking. A must visit.

  • 5/5 Vinisha D. 1 year ago on Google
    The park in Riverwood Conservancy is really beautiful and convenient from parking lot. Enough seating area in between the trees and kids to play around. It has access to trails which leads to riverside area. We spent our time by the riverside park and it was really soothing. We saw a few people kayaking too.

  • 5/5 Rabita N. 2 years ago on Google
    I am a photographer and this place is absolutely beautiful in the fall!! It does get a bit crowded and parking situation isn’t the best. So make sure to arrive early.
