| Hurkett Cove Conservation
Area, located on Black Bay in the Township of Dorion, is a naturalist's
paradise. The area is excellent for botanising, picnicking on the sandy
beach or canoeing along the shore. A new pavilion with picnic tables and
displays was built in 2001-02.
In 2005, Andy Bezener of "Birds Ontario" selected Hurkett Cove as one of the top birding sites in Ontario. See songbirds along the trail, raptors overhead, and waterfowl and shorebirds in the Cove or along the Black Bay shore. Choose Hurkett Cove if you are looking for an exciting place to view wildlife or visit for a day trip. |
