Lynde Shores Conservation Area
A Whitby wetland conservation area with walking loops and marsh viewing platforms for birdwatching.
About Lynde Shores Conservation Area
Lynde Shores has five kilometres of looping trails through the wetland landscape around Lynde Creek Marsh and Cranberry Marsh. Four viewing platforms give visitors places to watch waterbirds without entering the marsh. The short Chickadee Trail is one of the better-known loops.
CLOCA describes the trails as generally stroller and wheelchair friendly and identifies an accessible Waterfront Trail and washrooms. General public parking is on Halls Road South; the older Victoria Street lot is reserved for annual-pass holders.
