Can you spot the owl? This beautiful owl was spotted near our Bird Sanctuary this morning! Barred Owls are common in Ontario all year round. They are incredibly curious and inquisitive, and many times will watch as you walk past them.

Please note that while our trails remain open during this time, we would like to remind guests that dogs are not permitted on the trails.
