Lindsay Tract Managed Forest Culvert Replacement - Northern Bruce Peninsula

Lindsay Tract trail access between Ira Lake Road and Bradley Drive will be closed between October 2, 2024 and October 4, 2024 for the replacement of two culverts on Spring Creek.  

The project involves replacing two undersized and blocked culverts with a new arch culvert that will facilitate a proper crossing over Spring Creek. This upgrade aims to enhance the fishing habitat and spawning grounds by improving water flow and ensuring that the aquatic environment remains healthy and accessible. Additional improvements will be made at the culvert approaches to improve trail accessibility to ensure long term sustainability. There will be no trail access in this location and no bypass will be placed during the closure.

“This important stream restoration work within the Spring Creek Watershed will greatly improve conditions for Brook Trout and other fish in the area,” said Minister Todd McCarthy, who has taken on ministerial duties for the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks while Minister Andrea Khanjin is on parental leave. “This impressive project is another great example of how the Ontario Community Environment Fund is helping to make a positive impact in communities across the province.”

This project has received funding support from the Government of Ontario. Such support does not indicate endorsement by the Government of Ontario of the contents of this material. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Bruce County apologizes for any inconveniences that these restrictions may have.
