Parks and boat launches at Conservation Areas operated by South Nation Conservation (SNC) are now open for another season. Docks are being installed and gates will be unlocked at the following
conservation area boat launches in Prescott-Russell:
- High Falls and Doran Park Conservation Areas (Casselman)
- St. Albert Conservation Area (St. Albert)
- Embrun Boat Launch (Embrun)
- Jessup’s Falls Conservation Area (Plantagenet)
Portable washrooms have been installed in all of SNC’s conservation areas, including those that are maintained year-round. In Prescott-Russell, those are W.E. Burton and J. Henry Tweed (Russell) and Nokomis Park (Limoges).
SNC reminds anglers that it is unsafe and illegal to fish within 23 metres of a dam. Fish congregate in these areas and fishing prevents many fish species from spawning, which pose significant risks to fish populations. Please use safe and appropriate locations away from water control structures.
SNC kindly reminds trail visitors to please keep their pets on leash, not to litter or remove plants from Conservation Areas, and be respectful and courteous to other visitors.
SNC manages 20,000 acres of Community Forest in Eastern Ontario. Many of the day-use Conservation Areas under its management have been generously donated through SNC’s Land Securement Program. This initiative aims to preserve natural legacies for donors and offer the community spaces to connect with nature.
SNC is a not-for-profit, community-based environmental agency that relies on donations and self-generated revenue to protect and enhance the local environment across its
4,480 square-kilometer jurisdiction, on behalf of its 16 partner municipalities.
