History

Scenic lands within Allan Park are part of the Horseshoe Moraine.
Rolling hills reaching an elevation of 100 feet gives way to kettle lakes and cold water springs.
These features resulted from the melting of glaciers thousands of years ago.
Many of the trees here were planted in the 1960s by Saugeen Conservation and MNRF.
162 ha (400 acres) of rolling forested lands and an impressive pond.
Allan Park is designated as a Conservation Area and Managed Forest.
