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

Park is a great place to just get some good fresh air and walks in. Been to this park more often now, and super close to many different trails. Lots of parking and the area is always maintained by parks Canada staff.
Beautiful cycling trail through farmer's fields, forests, marshes. Easy peddling and lots of great spots to stop and rest. Love this trail network!
Great park for a little hike. Some parts are a little overgrown. We went in the morning and it was not very busy at all.

ROUGE VALLEY PARK REVIEWS
I love coming here to hike. It has a nice cliff side view that overlooks the river. Absolutely gorgeous. Great for dog walking and it is great exercise. I used to bike here all the time with my friend. I especially love coming here in the fall. The foliage is so stunning and all the different colored leaves are great for photos. Overall a great place for people that love a nice hike.
Rouge Valley park was so beautiful in the fall! Parking was a little tricky to find, but it was a lovely low intensity walk/ very chill hike. There is a 3K route and a 1.5 k both were really nice.
Very nice park for walking! Lots of trees and shading areas.
