Encompassing 116 hectares of Niagara Escarpment land, the Pottawatomi Conservation Area features scenic Jones Falls. Cascading 12 meters over the escarpment, the Pottawatomi River eventually makes its way to Owen Sound Bay on Georgian Bay.
The Pottawatomi Conservation Area contains various trees and shrubs ranging from Wild Rose to hard maples. Great white trillium and columbine are among the wildflowers that can be found. Cliff Swallows, Pileated woodpeckers, porcupines and woodchucks are common to the conservation area, as are garter snakes and painted turtles.
The Sydenham River, below the escarpment, possesses ideal conditions for migrating fish and other aquatic species. Brown trout, Rainbow trout and Chinook salmon use this area for feeding and spawning grounds.
