Mill of Kintail Conservation Area is a splendid 154 acre site near Bennies Corners, Ontario. The park is opened year-round and is an ideal place for a day excursion to explore the areas natural and cultural history. It is named after the historic Mill of Kintail — an 1832 Nepean sandstone grist mill — which still stands within the park, alongside other period buildings. Stop by the R. Tait McKenzie Museum to see famous Canadian artworks. You might be inspired to bring your own supplies and draw inspiration from the stunning natural surroundings! The park is also home to an extensive trail network, providing an ideal destination for a peaceful nature walk or cycle through a variety of habitats. In the wintertime, the trails here are hard-packed, meaning you can easily explore them without needing snowshoes. In autumn, the tree’s brilliant colours paint their way through the park. You will want to return time, and time again to experience the park in all seasons!
