Holiday Beach Gears Up for Spring

As the days are getting longer, the staff at Holiday Beach Conservation Area are gearing up for opening day. Holiday Beach is one of ERCA's most popular conservation areas, featuring a beautiful sandy beach, several kilometers of nature trails, transient and seasonal campsites, and special events throughout the year. Skylights are currently being installed in park buildings, washroom facilities are being revamped, and general cleanup and trail grooming will soon be underway.

"Installing skylights will not only help to improve energy efficiency within the conservation area operations, but will also help to create a warmer and more inviting atmosphere," explains Kevin Money, Coordinator of Conservation Areas.

There are several seasonal campsites still available, but Park Superintendent Richard Rivest notes that they generally sell out early in the season. "Holiday Beach Conservation Area provides a vacation-like atmosphere that doesn't require traveling long distances," he says. "With beautiful treed campsites, we have lots of families who book in for a weekend get-away, as well as those that spend the entire summer vacationing with us."

Holiday Beach will celebrate its opening weekend on April 22 & 23. For more information, or to reserve a campsite, contact us at 519-736-3772.
