Mel Swart Lake Gibson Conservation Park

The Mel Swart – Lake Gibson Conservation Park is a 29-acre, waterfront park located on the shores of Lake Gibson. The park can be found at the intersection of Beaverdams and DeCew Roads near the historic Beaverdams Village. This park is an outdoor recreationist’s dream. The boardwalk over the lake provides guests with a better vantage point to enjoy the view of the lake and shoreline. This park is an excellent example of re-naturalization that has encouraged the return of numerous indigenous species of birds and animals. There is plenty of parking to accommodate visitors of the park.
