Whatever type of angling you want, you can find it at Belwood Lake. The reservoir is great for pike, walleye, smallmouth bass and perch. Downstream of Shand Dam is a superb brown trout fishery that also supports pike, perch, walleye and bullhead.
The pond next to the Hampton Barn is stocked with trout for children aged 13 and under.
Please note that winter activities are subject to change, based on weather conditions. In addition, the conservation area and/or trails may close from time to time during the operating season, sometimes without notice for safety reasons following a storm, or due to a special event.
