Area and trail closures - Damascus Reservoir property
Work in the conifer plantations around the Damascus Reservoir, located near Wellington County Road 16, will begin in early November. This will result in temporary trail and area closures. It is anticipated that during closures some portions of the property’s main trail system will remain accessible to the public. The project is expected to take six to eight weeks to complete, but may continue until mid-January 2021. Please obey all posted signage. For more information check the news release.
