Overview
Rattray Marsh is a protected wetland on Mississauga's Lake Ontario shore, cared for by Credit Valley Conservation. We meet your group at Jack Darling Memorial Park and walk the raised boardwalks that let wildlife pass underneath.
The trails are short, easy and stroller friendly, with old-growth forest on Sheridan Creek Trail and a marsh lookout on the Knoll Trail. Herons, deer and foxes live here, though we can never promise a sighting.

Where do we park?
Only in the Jack Darling Memorial Park lot, which also has washrooms. Street parking is not allowed.
Will we have the trails to ourselves?
The tour is private, but the marsh is a public area, so you may share trails with other visitors.

No. Herons, rabbits, beavers, deer and foxes live here, but sightings are never guaranteed.

There is no winter closure, but check park advisories first and take care, as boardwalks get slippery.
