Ken Whillans is closed for the winter season, re-opening April 24.

Visitors must follow these guidelines:

• Visit with members of your household only, those that live alone can visit with one other household.
• Stay on trails, stepping off only to allow others to pass
• Yield to oncoming trail users when crossing bridges and boardwalks
• Do not trespass on private property next to CVC trails
• Respect the instructions provided by our dedicated staff
• Plan your trip accordingly and bring your own hand sanitizer as there are limited hand-washing facilities available.

We’re asking everyone to do their part to minimize the risk to yourself and others by following all public health advice. Visitors are asked to limit their stay to one hour or less to ensure everyone can enjoy an experience in nature. Visitors should be prepared to turn back if a property is full.
