Found on the banks of the Nottawasaga River in the hamlet of Edenvale, this scenic Conservation Area offers visitors a convenient place to rest, picnic, launch their small boat or drop a fishing line. Known locally as the ‘take-out’ after a canoe trip through the Minesing Wetlands, this area can be used for overnight camping by people arriving by canoe only.

Starting in 2024, NVCA parking fees will apply at the Edenvale Conservation Area.
