Kingsford Conservation Area
Tyendinaga Township is home to Kingsford Conservation Area, a peaceful conservation area situated along the Salmon River. It is a terrific spot for picnics, kayaking, and canoeing.
This conservation area is 2.5 hectare (6 acre) property that provides access to the Salmon River where a seasonal weir was previously installed. A weir is a seasonal dam that is installed in the early summer and removed in the late fall. This weir was first installed in 1971.
Kingsford conservation area is located at 4924 Blessington Rd Marysville. Here is a map of the approximate location.
