When you visit: Continue to follow public health advice including practicing physical distancing by keeping at least two metres from others, wearing a face covering where required, when physical distancing may be a challenge or not possible and when entering indoor public spaces, and wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Noisy River’s largely forested landscape is interrupted by a few meadows and a scenic portion of the Noisy River. Typical Niagara Escarpment features include cliffs, crevice caves, flat uplands, valley slopes and wetlands. Forty-six vegetation types have been identified in the nature reserve with a variety of forested upland, riparian and wetland habitats also present. Eight deciduous forest vegetation types occupy the thin escarpment rim soils and the upper slope lands.
Park Facilities: There are no visitor facilities, but the Bruce Trail crosses this nature reserve. The park offers good hiking, nature appreciation opportunities. Please remember that the many natural features here are vulnerable and easily damaged.
Location: About 20 km north of Shelburne on the Niagara Escarpment.
