Island Lake Conservation Area 位于多伦多以北的Orangeville,属于Credit Valley Conservation(CVC)保护区之一。保护区占地332公顷,可徒步、野餐、下船、垂钓。
8.3公里的环湖Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail是该保护区最值得一走的步道。2001年,该步道刚向公众开放时只有2.5公里、环绕部分湖畔。2005年由当地居民和社区成员组建了The Friends of Island Lake。该小组历经10年筹集了超过200万元现金、实物劳力和材料捐赠。终于在2015年时,实现了该环湖步道的全线贯通!步道以CVC退休总经理的名字命名,以表彰其为步道建设所做的贡献。
环湖步道既有陆路,也有水路。跨湖栈道也可以说是木桥,风景最为秀丽。站在桥上,视野开阔,湖面上莲叶斑斑,也许夏日里可以听取蛙声一片。整个步道宽阔平整,可以推婴儿车通行。无雨地干时,可以穿跑鞋。
步行者或骑行者可以通过Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail在 4th Avenue, Hockley Road, 或Hurontario Street上的入口处免费进入Island Lake Conservation Area。入口处附近有专门为步行者设计的指定免费停车场,不过数量有限,12-26个车位不等。
保护区一年四季都向公众开放,寒冷的冬季里还能冰钓。对于钓鱼爱好者而言,算是在漫长的冬日里另一好去处了。
