Allan Park Trout Pond Photo

Allan Park

Allan Park is one of the most popular properties owned by Saugeen Conservation.  This day-use park is open to the public on a year-round basis.  Enjoy a picnic by the pond, cast a fishing line, or take a trek back to explore the vast trail system.

Allan Park has over 162 hectares of rolling, forested landscape. There is also an impressive pond area. This park is a terrific location to spend an afternoon. Explore the vast trail system on foot, ski or snowshoe. Cycling and birding are popular activities you can enjoy while visiting the park.

ATTENTION: Tree harvesting is in progress at Allan Park

Many trails are CLOSED during forest management operations, which began on March 6th, 2023.  Visitors are reminded to stay off closed areas and to respect all posted signs and safety guidelines. It is anticipated that harvest operations will be completed by the end of March, weather permitting. Trails will be reopened once they have been made safe for visitors.

Please consult trail maps before venturing out.  Please note that there has been an additional trail closure at Allan Park CA. Thank you to all that are respecting the closures, we will be reopening the trails as soon as possible.
