About This Area
The pristine waters of Crawford Lake Conservation Area have drawn people to its shores for hundreds of years. The rare meromictic lake, with its surrounding boardwalk, is nestled in lush forests atop the stunning Niagara Escarpment and contains clues to history in its depths.
Visitors can step back in time and explore the 15th century Longhouse Village that has been reconstructed on its original site. Traditional longhouse reconstructions help visitors experience what daily life was like for Indigenous people in the area over 600 years ago. The modern Deer Clan Longhouse features seasonal exhibits that explore contemporary Indigenous ways of knowing and village gardens help visitors learn about Indigenous foods and agriculture.
Crawford Lake offers a wide range of educational programs and tours for schools and organizations, as well as excellent hiking and snowshoeing trails. From the elevated boardwalk that surrounds the lake to the Hide and Seek Trail, featuring chain saw sculptures of species at risk, Crawford Lake Conservation Area has something for everyone.
