Belfountain Conservation Area

Last summer, we visited one of Ontario's most unusual parks known as the Belfountain Conservation Area. It was the creation of Charles W. Mack who is known as the industrialist who invented and then manufactured the cushion stamp.
When finished, the park contained a dam for swimming, a lookout point and a cave named Yellowstone that was converted into a chapel-like room and a suspension bridge across the river. The most noteworthy feature is a stone fountain with a bell on top, commemorating the name of the neighbouring village, Belfountain.
In 1955, the Credit Valley Conservation Authority purchased the property and varous hiking trails were added. The park lies in the village of Belfountain on the Forks of the Credit Road.
