A very lovely place to visit. To start with lots of parking spaces, picnic tables and tons of natural beauty to enjoy. Anyone loves to be close with nature, check this location. Kids can play and run around while you can enjoy. Trails are available to explore. Forest habitats can be noticed hear and there. There is an admissions free (from May 21 to Oct 10): Adult $4.50, Senior $3.50 and kids under 15 are free. Park is opened from 8am to evening (weekend 9pm).

It is such a beautiful park! It is a good place for walking and looking at nature's beauty. There are benches next to the lake where we can sit and look at the lake view. The lake view is calming and relaxing. Great place for children too. Thank you:)

A very nice park in the city with hiking trails and lots of green space for picnics, dog walking, biking, Frisbee tossing and kite flying. Which is a great spot for the entire family to enjoy. Parking is free on weekdays but on weekends and statutory holidays there is a nominal fee. Admission is due at the entrance as follows - Adults: $4.50, Seniors: $3.50, Children 15 and under: Free. Public washrooms were open. We hiked along the trails and saw a couple of suspension and wooden bridges towards the dam.

What a beautiful place to take a walk.. even in early spring. Dogs loved it . Weekdays free. Weekends not. Thank goodness there are restrictions because nature deserves a level of respect and peace. Horrifying to hear loud music and bbqs everywhere. Destroys the nature.

Nestled in the city of Markham. A great spot for a picnic. Beautiful green space with water access. Went on a weekday so no entry fee. The site was flat, with the standard picnic tables and a good size shelter. There was even washroom facilities BONUS especially with young kids. Only spent time in a section of the park. Will definitely go back to explore the pedestrian suspension bridge and other parts of the park.

Great park with lots of picnic tables. Plenty of room for everyone. BBQ is now allowed (only charcoal) and restrooms reopened. Make sure to access the parking from Mccowan, lots of spaces available. Great nature scenes, you follow a small trail along the lake's shore and connect with other trails near by. Trail will lead you over a few bridges before reaching the dam. Great for biking or just a quiet walk. Lots of wildlife along the way.

This conservation park is huge! They used to charge $5 fees per parking but currently they postponed it. Perfect for picnic + biking + outdoor events. It's so therapeutic here. Spacious parking and a lot of picnic tables. Area closer to Highway 7th has Monarch Butterfly garden. Also amazing place for bird watching. Just be aware of gypsy moths! They're everywhere during spring and early summer. I wouldn't recommend you touching them if you don't want to suffer from itching, hives and possible allergy for couple of days. If you plan to go biking here- this conservation is connected all the way to Therapy trail.

Great place to walk or ride your bike! I was there in summer, fall, and winter, and enjoyed it every time.

Lovely place to enjoy a picnic. Have a plenty tables around the park. Beautiful green space with water access. Have a washroom facilities which is a bonus for this place. Please go and explore the pedestrian suspension bridge and other parts of the park.

Overall we liked this park. It’s well maintained and peaceful. The main downside is that you can hear the noise from the highway. This park is good for picnics, there is probably about a hundred picnic tables. :) Most of them, however, are on the sunny spots. It’s great also for biking with kids, trails are mostly flat and trails are short. The pavement is not suitable for scooters, though.

We came on a weekend and the park had the right number of people. There was a vast amount of park for everyone. Watch out for bikers as the trail is shared equally between both. There are also tire pumps for bikers. Be aware that this is for families and the walk is on paths versus a hike. There are also alot of bridges and a dam which is great.

Such a beautiful quiet park. Perfect for picnic. For family or group outdoor events. Fall Scenery is awesome also the other season. Wonderful nature. Lots of benches. Entrance was used to be about 5. During pandemic we entered for free. Lots of parking. Every Canada day there is firework celebration. It is also closer to Markville mall and old Unionville 🥰

Did the loop around the Rouge River. The east section was a little bit challenging, while the south section was mostly wooded. On the west side, had to go along the McCowan sidewalk to cross the bridge to re-enter the park to close the loop. It was just over 7km in length, overall was pretty easy trail. It was gray, the photos looked like black and white.

After all these years I finally checked out this Conservation Park which is really close to home and I must say it is really well kept, clean and a nice short easy trail to do with my 10 year old Pomeranian. The elevation isn’t too steep and overall it was nice to see how well maintained the park is. I would definitely come back. Wide enough trails to share with bikers, runners and those who just want to enjoy a nice walk. There’s areas you can enjoy by the water, check out the dam, public washrooms and plenty of parking spots available. Parking is free during the weekdays.

Love this park, spacious and clean. Fall colour is gorgeous as usual. Better come here on the weekdays, plenty of parking. Tried to stay away on weekends, fees charge is acceptable but challenging to find parking, especially during summer time.

Great hiking path that's close to home. There's always parking and the trails are clearly indicated. Plenty of evidence of wildlife (beavers).

This is my go to park to bike, walk, jog or just to enjoy a beautiful day. It is a huge park with lots of parking, main washroom and portables on the main park. 2.3 kilometers of trails, a Beach area but not suitable for swimming. Lots of picnic tables. The park opens at 8am and entrance is free on weekdays. Weekends and stat holidays is $4.50 for adults, 3.50 for seniors,children and under is free.

Excellent place for a summer morning hike. It's easily accessible and vehicles can go into the park and be stationed near Lake side.

(Translated by Google) Nice place, nice view. Beside the park address, all the other address you see here are free parking. It's residential area. There are 3 bridges, including 2 suspension bridges, which are very suitable for checking in. Boating can be done in summer and ice skating in winter.

Very good to relax in summer as well as in winters. Ice skating was going on today. Not too many people were there. Good environment in summers. Must visit.

This park is amazing for a family outing. The lake is serene and the picnic tables are plentiful. Long trails that take you to a bridge in a forest area and also to the Milne Dam. Tons of parking and this place is free on weekdays. Weekends can get busy and you may have to wait to get in as you have to pay for entry. Highly recommend visiting this park.

Here is the maple viewing guide in downtown Toronto - Milne Dam Conversation Park. This park is truly a must for maple viewing! ❤ This park is located in Markham, about half an hour's drive from downtown Toronto. The whole park is so big that if you walk, you probably won’t be able to finish it in half a day😂, but it’s only a 2-3 minute walk from the parking lot 🅿️ to where I took the photo. It is more suitable for skateboarding, cycling, etc. It will be very beautiful to walk along the path and pass through one maple forest after another. This is a great place for gatherings of family and friends, because on weekends there will be a lot of people gathering here in this park, having barbecues, etc. Not to mention how attractive the aroma is. 😍 🗺️Park name: Milne Dam Conversation Park🗺️ ⏰Opening hours: 24 hours⏰ 🎫Tickets: Free🆓. 🎫 🚘About transportation: There is a bus to get there. It takes about 10 minutes to walk after getting off the bus. If you drive by yourself, parking here🅿️ is also free. 🚘 ⭐It is very close to Markville Shopping Center. If you feel hungry after visiting the park, there are many delicious food here. ⭐

Great place to enjoy nature at its best!!

It's a pretty park. We got off the main trail and saw some deer.

Lots of beautiful views of rouge river and bridges, many different types of trees and benches to sit on every now and then.

Great Escape from Being Cooped up at Home!! During our COVID 19 lockdown and other alerts, we were looking for a place with space and for my kids to run around and have fun. A friend mentioned Milne Dam Conservation Park as a place we can go and have some fun without worrying about crowds. I had been to this park before, and it just slipped my mind about it. I packed up the kids, got some pizza from Little Ceasars, and went there for a picnic. The park is huge and although we were intimidated by all the cars being there, we were surprised to find how spacious the park was. Despite the fact that there were many people there, there was so much room for us to be safe and be physically distanced from other people. We found a few empty picnic tables by the water and had a nice lunch under a tree with lots of shade. It was a warm early fall day and the trees had yet to start turning colour. Once we finished our picnic we spent the rest of our visit exploring the park. There are trails and marked paths all over the park and in the woods as well. We explored all afternoon and had a great time. We needed to burn all those calories after a pizza lunch. The park itself is very clean, well maintained, and for the most part, the restrooms were clean as well. There is a fee to enter the park which only cost us around four dollars. There are a few different parking lots and parking is available and since cars are coming and going, we were able to easily find a parking spot within minutes of arriving. The overall experience was amazing and the kids had a great time. I highly recommend this park.

It's a great place for hiking, running and biking. There are two well designed long exaggerated bridges, an amazing dam, a beautiful pond, memorial corner, butterfly garden. There are many picnic tables. There is a public washroom. There are ample parking spaces. Parking is free. It's a good season to watch wild flowers.

Beautiful place to spend a calm and relaxing afternoon. Very peaceful and not crowded on weekdays. The park was very clean and the trail was easy for all ages. Great for a nice walk! There were lots of nice scenery for photo shooting too. Definitely recommend and plan to go back again very soon!

Well maintained, beautiful park! We absolutely love going there for walks. There are a number of picnic benches and places to dispose used charcoal for anyone interested in doing BBQ. The viewpoint of the lake is calming. There are clean washrooms & parking space available. Great for stroller walks/biking/ running.

Hubby & I drop our kayaks in the water and paddle for a few hours! So serene & beautiful. Love that this is close to home.

Amazing park for wildlife. Love to go for my wildlifephotography. It also connected to other parks such as forest therapy trail.

A spacious lawn laying down on the conservation park, My phone have lowered electric power, impelling me to take a few photos. I guess if you photograph at the bridge in Autumn, it must be the fantastic masterpiece of yours. I like the convenience one-stopped site for bicycle. I fixed my bike a bit more. Thumbs up

Milne Dam Conservation Park is such a hidden gem. My first visit was last Fall when the Fall color was at its peak. I walked from the parking to the Milner Dam then back. There's people of all kinds chilling there. The paths are not as smooth as in a park. It's a little bit of a hike, but not too challenging so I believe many elderly will still be able to enjoy it.

Nice park for a stroll, to take pictures, and I guess other stuff? Either way its a big enough park for you and your friends and never seems to be too crowded with great parking space. I wish there was more activities or proper care of the sand/beach. It would make it feel more like a lake or beachfront which is what I think is missing. I also don't remember seeing bbq, why not have them? Maybe the residential areas are too close for those type of activities.

Only place you can see more people

Great place in Markham for fun and recreation, e.g., biking, jogging, running, painting, canoeing, barbecuing, snowshoeing..., you name it. You may see deers or all kinds of birds, if you are lucky and observant.

Spacious park. Great for group and family picnics and bbq. There's a lake where some people were fishing, some geese and birds, and a few walking trails. There's plenty of parking and enough room to find benches and shade.

If you love nature, this is the place for you. Absolutely beautiful place with long hiking/biking trails. Friendly people. Rivers. Lakes. You name it.

my favorite communicty part. spacious, lots of greens and a lake. clean and well maintained.

Nice place to hike gravel north of the water and forest south of the water. There are some muddy spots and alot of broken glass on the east trail. Lots of places to picnic and it's free to enter with alot of parking.

Nice excellent view u must visit for fall colors. Good Cycling track walking track beautiful Rouge River dam you can find lot Of fishes also 153 hector wildlife sanctuary ... A nice wooded gravel trail that goes east from the parking lot to the dam, with wide-open fields and wildflowers. There is an entry fee. Accessibility: There are at least four designated accessible spaces in the large paved parking lot by the picnic shelter at the east end of the trail inside of the trail loop. All of them are van-accessible with striped access aisles. The trail surface is paved asphalt or gravel (with bridges with railings) and typically at least 2 meters wide. The estimated grade is mostly gentle (5% or less) except for uphill steep sections (8-12%) at about 0.7 and 1.1 kilometers when going counterclockwise. Hikers using wheelchair/mobility equipment or strollers may need assistance in the steeper sections or to avoid them for safety. All-terrain tires or motorized equipment may be needed for the unpaved sections or steep areas. There are benches and picnic tables along the route for resting.

Quite, serene atmosphere in February

except for over zealous bylaw officers ticketing every car in site, and harassing skaters on the pond, a wonderful place for a walk.

Beautiful place

绿化很好，水很赶紧，溜娃遛狗都可以~~

Was there today for the first time since they've built the new bridge. This used to be a very quiet street now quite busy on weekends and the dam was frozen filled with ice rinks and lots and lots of skaters. Looks great! What an improvement.

Best place for family walk

Beautiful park that borders a residential area. It covers a large amount of space and is a great place to walk around, walk your dog, or just people watch. I would recommend this place to anybody that really likes the outdoors. I did not see any shelters in the area however there were a few benches dispersed throughout the park

Very big park. Not very crowded during weekends. You can always find a spot for your barbecue with family here. Or you can just walk around and enjoy the scenery.

A lovely park to visit any time of year. A misty day in late fall was a delight. Great park for picnicking, lots of parking, lots of picnic tables. Lovely walk along the river.

It’s a good spot for Bbq and family picnic or evening walk. The entrance fee sucks other than that it’s well maintained park.

Had a nice visit last weekend in the middle of winter with family. Temperature was -9c and kind of windy. So you may want to dress up properly. You can hike from the park to the suspension bridge and it was quite beautiful. I saw hokey and skating rings on the frozen lake close to the suspension bridge. Now I am not sure if it is safe but lots of people are skating and doing hokey shoot around there. We couldn't resist and walked out to the lake as well. The ice seemed to be quite solid although I didn't find any info if the ice is tested:) There was also a nice slope for tobogganing too.

Really nice and large park. When during the winter so there were people playing hockey and skating on the frozen ice. There are patches of ice on the walk path, so you have to be careful when you walk.

It is one of the many green spaces that I enjoy cycling by and make a pit stop! The space is well maintained and not crowded if you stay away from the main area. You will find lots of hidden gems when you explore the area.

A wonderful place for enjoying the nature and physical activity in Markham city. Easy to access by bus or walking. Lots of parking space available, free in weekdays.

Clean beautiful lake with lots of trees, birds and deer. Fantastic view from the suspension bridge over the dam. Gorgeous sunsets! Lovely bridges. Perfect place for outdoor yoga!

Love the area. Nice walking area but since it was it was winter time the pathway had patches of ice on it, so you have to be careful. The dam was frozen so there were people playing hockey on it.

Love this place.

Note admissions policy is no longer a charge per vehicle - now you are charged per person according to age.

Great place to relax in the evenings!

Nice park to go for a hike. In winter, the lake freezes and its create to skate! We will definitely checkout in the summer too as they have picnic areas that for sure provide a good outdoor space for a family day.

We went to see fireworks for Canada Day 150. The event was well organized and the park has a a large pond and play area great for kids. Ample parking but there is an entrance fee. The park allows picnics and it is a good place to spend a few hours.

Beautiful park -witb its icy shinny lake

Nice to go for a walk all year round Righr now (jan 23) the pond is frozen and great for skating

(Translated by Google) Park in the city, a good place for leisure and entertainment, gatherings and picnics, and fishing. (Original) 城中公园，休闲娱乐，聚会野餐，甩竿垂钓好地方。

The park is normally open but even some days when the entrance gates are closed to cars you can just park at the nearby shopping plaza on Highway 7 and walk down to the park. In the winter they still normally plow the driveway leading through the park to the parking lot which is easy to get into and out of.

It is good walk. Nice views

Amazing place to skate when it’s cool enough! Beautiful new updates to the path too!

Nice place for walk in heart of Markham

So beautiful !

The dam and the bridge near it are interest points in the conservation area. Besides that there are a few, easy hiking trails along the river. Of course, the main advantage of this place is its close proximity to the city ... Coincidentally, it is also one of the disadvantages because it makes the conservation area crowded at times.

The park is attended to well, very clean and with good instruction. It is a good and spacious park to hold activities. Not crowded. You can enjoy the view, go fishing and work out here.

Great Walking and biking trails within a few minutes from main st. Markham

Delightful. Nice walk. People skating and playing hockey. Lovely sunshine and not much wind.

Awesome place for skating in the winter! Just make sure you take ice core samples to verify thickness.

Great park! The trails on the south side are very quiet with very few people. I would recommend those trails for biking and for people who want to walk through a quiet forest. Not too much wildlife since is located near the highway, which can be heard in some parts of the park. Overall a great experience!!! Would love to visit again!!

Great trails

Beautiful park with lots of space and many picnic tables. Very clean and trail is easy for a walk with young kids. It has lots of parking space, there is an entry fee on weekends.

Extremely clean park. Short hike to the dam. You can also continue passed it if you want more of a walk, if you don't mind a less scenic, forested path. There wasn't anyone to collect entry fees in the booth when we went on a Saturday in Autumn.

Beautiful park, lots of open green space as well as paths winding throughout. Lots lof lovely bridges as well. Gorgeous colours in the fall and a great place to picnic in the summer. Highly recommend walking here!

Nice little area within the city to get a dose of nature. Lots of picnic areas close by the water. Parking lot is huge!

Real Canadian fun. Frozen Rouge river in winter. Full excitement for all ages.
