Hatch Lots Conservation Area

Easy Dog friendly Parking available Scenic views

Hatch Lots Conservation Area is a 50 acre property with natural wetland habitats. The 2 mile trail is perfect for hiking. The conservation area is just under 50 acres with about 2 miles of trails. It's an out and back trail so there is no loop. There trails are well maintained and include a few small bridges. Part of the trail system at Hatch abuts Hornstra Farms fields - but to visit you need to drive just around the corner. Try Sydney Ice Pond for a similar trail experience featuring wetland.
