There are a vast number of recreational activities to enjoy in the valley for every season from canoeing and camping in the summer to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. The trails are open year round and the area is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna including more than 190 bird species.
The valley also features four playgrounds including a wheelchair-accessible play area, four public pavilions available to rent for private events, an ecological zone with four distinct ecosystems, and a 54-site campground. Located just minutes from the historic downtown area, the valley offers a peaceful haven for all to enjoy.
