Minesing Wetlands, Wetland conservation area near Barrie, Canada
The Minesing Wetlands contain an interconnected system of swamps, fens, bogs, and marshes spanning 60 square kilometers in central Ontario.
The wetlands served as a strategic route during the War of 1812, leading to the construction of Fort Willow as a supply depot.
The name Minesing originates from the Ojibwe language, referring to an island that existed within Lake Edenvale in the current wetlands location.
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority manages 39 square kilometers of the wetlands, offering recreational activities such as canoeing and bird watching.
The wetlands host Canada's only population of Hine's emerald dragonfly and contain Ontario's largest pure stand of silver maple trees.
