Where else can you find a 468 hectare park, a rare meromictic lake (where layers of water do not intermix) and a 15th century reconstructed Iroquoian Village? Located near Milton and nestled in a spectacular section of the Niagara Escarpment, Crawford Lake Conservation Area invites you to come and explore this living, breathing classroom.
