Sitting just on the edge of Kitchener and Waterloo, Ontario, is Laurel Creek Conservation Area. In the heart of Mennonite Country, Laurel Creek is an easy way to get away from the city. Camp at one of the many sites here and immerse yourself in nature. Three looping, groomed trails stretch 8 km along mature hardwood forests, grassy meadows, and coniferous plantations. The sandy beaches are ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and setting off for a relaxing paddle on the water. In the winter, this conservation area is the perfect cross-country skiing destination. You will want to come back time, and time again to experience Laurel Creek in every season!
