Wildwood Conservation Area is the Stratford-area escape when you want water and woods rather than another theatre lobby. The park spreads around Wildwood Reservoir near St. Marys, with room for canoeing, kayaking, camping, picnics, and long walks through a broad valley landscape.
It is best treated as an easy half-day outdoors rather than a quick roadside stop. The trail network is long enough for a proper leg-stretch, and the reservoir gives families and paddlers something to do in warm weather. Bring your own pace: this is a quiet conservation area, not a polished resort attraction.
