Rattray Marsh Conservation Area

Don't follow the Google Maps for this one. You'll need to go to Jack Darling park to get parking. Park all the way down to the end and then start walking on the path heading west. You'll see signs telling you where the Marsh is. Loved the long boardwalk. Also loved that you get to walk alongside the lake before you get to the boardwalk path. Nice, cool experience with all the trees.

Great place to go for a walk with kids and dogs. Boardwalk, very well maintained, and beautiful trails to observe nature and take pictures. We usually park at Jack Darling parking lot and go from there. Stop by the pebble beach near the marsh to see the lake, very quiet and not busy at all. Recommend using some bug repelent because of the mosquitos.

Very accessible conservation area. Great for the whole family. The boardwalk spans a vast area with lots of turns. There are benches throughout the trail. A great hiking trail for those on wheels. There are washrooms at the park next to the trail. The marsh is full of life and the area is very quiet and serene. A very lovely space.

Meticulously well-kept and flat hiking trail, which loops around a marsh. The path leads through a forest and there are a few exit points - trail is well-marked. Park at Jack Darling and walk along the waterfront. I saw bunnies, chipmunks, squirrels and various birds. Boardwalk is wonderful and accessible for wheelchairs. Lots of rest stations. Enjoy views of Lake Ontario and Toronto skyline. Water is clean enough to swim.

Beautiful conservation area in Mississauga, visited on Friday at 11 am. Parked at Green Glade Public School and walked to the conservation area. The trails are nice, especially the boardwalk.
Beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed our time here, perfect for nature lovers.
Would love to visit again.

Jack Darling Park is also close by.

I came by with my family today under the recommendation by other Google user that this boardwalk is one of the longest within the GTA region. We started out around 3 o’clock and the weather was so nice. There was wind and clouds and the sun wasn’t too bright on us.
I read that there is no parking lot for this conservation area and people usually park at the Jack Darling Memorial Park parking lot. However, if you come over the weekends, you may find these parking lots jammed with cars and people all there for the beach front and BBQ.
If you’re only here for trail walking you can choose to park at the Green Glade Sr Public School on the other side of the path, which is much less stress and the entrance to the conservation park is right there opposite to the school.
We quickly found the boardwalk, which was very clean and well-maintained. It was such a pleasant walk because of the weather and the way the trails are nicely built with wide walkways and boardwalk built over the watery wetland. We saw lots of people walking the dogs. We saw different kinds of birds. Some of them were taking a nice bath in a river and we said hi to many squirrels and chipmunks along the way. Some reviewer said they have met deer or coyote or the kind of animals in this park but we didn’t see any perhaps because is during the daytime. If you like boardwalk you should really come and try it out at the Rattray Marsh Conservation Park!

This Rattray Marsh Conservation area is a hidden gem. I wish I could find it earlier. A very good place to go for a short or long walk. It is a cool place to picnic and barbecue since the Jack Darling park is near by. The sceneries here are perfect. A lot of benches to sit and rest and the park is beautifully maintained. 💕
