The Rockwood conservation area is a beautifully unique site; glacial potholes, limestone cliffs, old ruins and calm waters attract a large number of visitors annually. Canoeing and Kayaking are among the most popular activities in the conservation area. You can bring your own craft and put it in at the end of the beach or at the Harris Mill Ruins. Anglers can expect to catch brown trout, bullheads, carp, large and smallmouth bass. There is a sandy beach area marked with buoys to indicate shallow swimming waters. The beach is not supervised by lifeguards. Hiking trails can be accessed from the beach and mill ruins.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests 60-95% of the time
