The UKR Gators are excited to welcome Ontario’s orienteering community to Heart Lake Conservation Area, just north of Brampton with easy access from the city and surrounding areas. This hidden gem nestled in the burbs of northern Brampton was originally mapped in 2003 by Finnish mapper, Benny Blomster. We will be using a slightly updated/extended version of the map with the addition of Richvale Park, some sections of White Spruce Park, and the surrounding neighbourhoods to the south.
Located just between Brampton and Caledon, Heart Lake Conservation offers over 400 acres of open forest, mature trails and a beautiful lake in the center which provides a perfect backdrop for activities throughout the seasons. It’s been a number of years since the area has been used for an Orienteering event.
The park is a varied mix of open/semi-open parkland and campgrounds, mixed forest, marsh and rolling hills.
