Simcoe County Forest
Highlight • Forest
Spanning more than 13,000 hectares across over 150 properties, the Simcoe County Forest is one of the largest municipal forest systems in Ontario. Originally established in the early 1920s to restore worn-out farmland and sandy wastelands, it has grown into a network of forests, wetlands, and recreation areas used for walking, cycling, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing. Today, the forest continues to be actively managed for conservation, habitat protection, recreation, and sustainable forestry, making it a unique example of large-scale reforestation success in Ontario.

Silver Creek Tract
Highlight • MTB Park
Part of the Simcoe County Forest, Silver Creek Tract protects a large area of mixed woodland, pine plantation, wetlands, and rolling terrain. A network of multi-use trails and forest roads criss-crosses the property, making it a popular destination for walking, cycling, horseback riding, and winter recreation. Despite its proximity to several communities, the tract feels surprisingly secluded, with long stretches of forest and very little development visible from the trails.
