Portia March is an $1.8 million wetland development built by Ducks Unlimited, that include an interpretive area, marsh boardwalk, lookout platform, woodland trails and picnic area. At the marsh, visitors will see waterfowl, beaver, muskrat, mink, birds of prey and a variety of songbirds. Thunderbird Nest is an ancient aboriginal site nestled in an attractive woodland west of The Narrows.
Baconridge is a one square mile mixed woodland area that has been set aside as an ecological reserve, as well as, for horse riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in winter.
