Scenery at Meadowvale Conservation Area 

Meadowvale Conservation Area is a lovely park with expansive fields, plenty of amenities, and scenic views of the Credit River. The park is within Mississauga, and is nestled within the suburbs of Meadowvale.

There is a large parking lot at the end of Second Line West, with plenty of space available when we visited on a Tuesday evening in October.

The park has gazebos, picnic benches, and washrooms. It’s a great spot for outdoor activities or picnics given the large open fields.

Visiting in the first week of October we spotted salmon swimming upstream, making their journey from Lake Ontario. There is a great view point of the salmon migration on the bridge that overlooks Credit River.

We only visited for a brief walk outdoors after a busy work day, and are looking forward to returning to picnic.

Scout Valley in Orillia

It’s official – we’ve moved to Orillia!  We weren’t loving the city life, and wanted to move somewhere closer to nature and outdoor activities. The traffic, commuting times, and lack of green space was getting to be exhausting. Aside from a few hiking spots within Mississauga, we found we had to drive outside of city…

Claireville Conservation Area

      I must admit it was a little unexpected that the park wasn’t busier. I’m sure it would be packed on the weekend but would like to re-visit and update if that’s the case.

      The salmon swimming upstream was super cool to see!
