Tiffin Centre
Close to 200 hectares (500 acres) make up the Tiffin Conservation Area (CA). Situated between Barrie and Angus, this Conservation Area is known for its diverse forests, wheelchair-accessible trail system, environmental education program, annual Maple Syrup Festival.
The Tiffin Conservation Area has much to offer visitors including a mixture of wetlands, forests, open meadows, ancient lake beds and glacial shorelines. All can be found as you hike over 17 kilometers of looped return trails. Home to the NVCA's John Hix Administrative Centre and the John L. Jose Environmental Education Centre, Tiffin welcomes people young and old to enjoy all it has to offer.

"Just wanted to let you and your staff know what an absolute pleasure to be able to take my 85 year old mother for a walk the other day, on your exceptionally well groomed trails. I cannot think of any other area close to Barrie that is comparable. The dedication, care and attention you take to keep the walking and ski trails accessible to anyone, including those with disabilities is commendable. Keep up the good work, and thank you. Caroline Canale & Winston" - Winter 2011
