Snyder's Flats is a 100-hectare former gravel pit that has been restored as a natural area with ponds, new forests, grasslands and other features.

  • It is located on Snyders Flats Road, west of Sawmill Road near the village of Bloomingdale in Woolwich Township (Map).
  • The ponds provide habitat for several fish species as well as the nearby Grand River.
  • The forest was planted in conjunction with the Kitchener-Conestoga Rotary Club.
  • There is a 4.5-kilometre looped trail with interpretive signs that explain the natural features on the property.
