Chatham-Kent Travel Guide 2008

Clear Creek Forest Nature Reserve Since 2001, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), Ontario Parks and other partners have protected an extraordinary ecosystem at Clear Creek Forest, located approximately 20 kilometres east of Chatham in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. Situated along the “Carolinian Coast”, one of Canada’s richest ecological regions, this 1000-acre property of older-growth forest wilderness, links high quality interior forest habitat with Lake Erie and provides habitat for several species-at-risk and of global conservation concern, including the endangered Acadian Flycatcher and what is believed to be Ontario’s largest living Beech tree. Over the past 40 years, NCC has helped secure more than 9,000 acres of significant habitat in the Carolinian Coast area. Under NCC’s long-term partnership with Ontario Parks, Clear Creek Forest will be managed by Ontario Parks as a proposed Nature Reserve Class Provincial Park. Foot access is permitted via a short trail system but visitors are asked to please stay on the trail and leave their pets behind. The trailhead is located on the south side of Cochrane Line, just west of the intersection with Duart Road.
