Petticoat Creek Conservation Area
Petticoat Creek Conservation area is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, at the mouth of Petticoat Creek. Visitors can enjoy incredible views of Lake Ontario from the top of the bluffs. The conservation area features a new 4100 square-metre aquatic facility that includes a swimming pool, splash pools, and an interactive splash pad. The park also offers BBQ and group picnic areas, large open grass fields, and is part of the 730 km Waterfront Trail that extends from Niagara-on-the-Lake to the Ontario-Quebec border.
