Sheffield Conservation Area provides a four km looped trail that offers some challenging terrain for the avid hiker. Spectacular granite outcroppings, deciduous forests and extensive wetlands typify this area of the Canadian Shield.
Songbirds, waterfowl, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals like beaver and muskrat are common here. Ontario’s only lizard, the five-lined skink, is also a resident.
For wildflower enthusiasts there is plenty of colour from the brilliant orange of the wood lily to the delicate pale corydalis along the trails. During wet times, some parts of the trail may be under water. The boat launch may not be suitable for large motor boats.
This 467 hectare (1,154 acre) Conservation Area is located 11 km south of Kaladar or 37 km north of Napanee, off Highway 41.

Are you looking for something more than just a concrete jungle lifestyle or the cookie cutter world of the suburbs for your family? Then this might be just the home you're looking for.
This magnificent 3,400 square foot custom built home offers the executive family an open lifestyle experience where people can roam and mingle in the warmth of the fireplace, or sit and reflect on the day watching the sun go down over the fields on the western horizon.
The finely crafted kitchen, with its stainless steel appliances, is designed for preparing great meals for friends and family -- for having breakfast reading the morning paper or just sitting with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and catching your breath at the end of the day.
There's a large, formal dining room able to accommodate 8 to 10 guests for celebrating the holidays and anniversaries. And, there's still plenty of room to show case your antique china cabinets, glass & table wear.
This first level has two large bedrooms that can easily accommodate a queen size furniture suite for guests or live in house staff, with a well appointed powder room and second washroom.
The upstairs loft is designed as a master bedroom but could easily be converted into an expansive home office or work area and has a private 4 piece ensuite with a deep soaking tub.
The completely finished basement has 12 foot ceilings with a walk out to the patio and hot tub. It has a custom bar and entertainment area, more than enough room for a billiards table or an additional gaming centre. It has a tiled office and meeting space along with a sizable work out room able to fit weights and cardio machines. This level has another large bedroom capable of accommodating a king size furniture suite as well as a very spacious 4 star washroom with an oversized glassed in shower stall.
The home sits amongst the lush, rolling hills in the northern reaches of Durham Region, with highway 404 less than 30 minutes away. There is an expansive deck and pergola that catch the warmth of the afternoon sun, and the basement leads out to a large stone patio with stone garden and hot tub.
