Rattray Marsh Conservation Area & Jack Darling Park

Rattray Marsh is an “environmental gem” located in a unique natural setting within the City of Mississauga . As the last remaining lakefront marsh between Toronto and Burlington , this environmentally sensitive wetland offers a different experience for nature lovers. Rattray Marsh is home to a variety of wildlife and plants and a definite must see for avid bird watchers, photographers and nature lovers. Jack Darling park is located by lake Ontario; the waterfront offers great fun for everyone all year around. The waterfront is fairly long, with rocky and sandy areas. It's not the kind of sand that you would find on a tropical island but it's not so bad either. The view from the beaches is spectacular: you can see the Toronto skyline t o the left and the endless blue horizon to the south. It is only by mid July when the water gets warm enough for fun swimming but many people (especially kids) go in earlier
