Torrence Barrens Conservation Reserve
Highlights
Encompassing almost 5,000 acres, the
Torrance Barrens Conservation Reserve is
one of the most striking geological areas in
Muskoka. The lunar landscape of the
Barrens is characterized by low ridges of
Precambrian bedrock, separated by wetlands and peat-filled hollows, scattered boulders, a little soil bare bedrock. Eastern Bluebird, Cooper’s Hawk and Massasauga rattlesnake can often be spotted on the Barrens and the elusive Whippoorwill and Nighthawk can be heard in late evening. Many diverse vegetative species grow here. Amateur astronomers have identified the Barrens as an ideal place to view the night skies with little light infiltration from urban centres.
