Walking

There are five publicly-owned places where one can walk along/near the Carp River.

 Carp River Conservation Area

From the Queensway north to Richardson Side Road lies a 2 km length of the Carp River that was restored in 2016-2018 with meanders, three wet meadows, and a habitat pond.  A paved path with bridges provides an opportunity to walk near the river and restored wetlands.  Learn more.
