Conquer the Canuck

Shade’s Mills has been called the best-kept secret in Cambridge. Favourite activities in this day-use area include swimming, sport fishing and canoeing. The conservation area has 12 km of hiking trails through a mature hardwood forest that winds along Mill Creek. There is good fishing for northern pike, perch, largemouth and smallmouth bass in the 32-hectare (80 acre) reservoir behind Shade’s Mills dam. It is open for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and ice fishing during the winter.

We will be bringing back the Conquer the Canuck 12-hour race on a new 6.25 km loop. We have put the staged runs on hold for next year.
