April 8, 2025 - Quinte Conservation's are now open to the public following a temporary closure for maintenance and cleanup.
You must pay to park at Quinte Conservation's areas. Parking fees support the maintenance and management of Quinte Conservation Areas by keeping trails open, safe, and accessible. Parking fees contribute to the repair and replacement of structures like boardwalks, bridges, and benches, and to upgrades like ease-of-access trails, new trails, educational signage and safety features.
Some repairs/projects can be very costly and it takes time to raise funds to support them. Collecting parking fees is only one of the many avenues we take to support these areas. Donations, fundraisers, and successful grant applications also support large-scale projects.
Annual Pass
Purchase an annual pass through our online form. You'll receive an access card that will grant you entrance to all of our conservation areas, both with and without electronic gates.
How to use your access card at CA gates
Tap the grey pad located on the Parking Boxx with your access card.
If you have a valid access card, the gate's arm will lift. You will be notified on the screen if your pass has expired.
The access card pad is located in the bottom left corner of the Parking Boxx system.
If you need assistance using the gate, please press the call button located at the bottom.
