Passholders can use alternate entrance on Kelson Road for Fifty Point access

Fifty Point Conservation Area now features an additional seasonal entranceway. The entrance is located off Kelson Road. The additional entrance is hoped to ease the traffic concerns at the main entrance off Baseline Road during the peak summer season.

The new entrance will operate to Labour Day weekend, from 9 AM to 5 PM. Hours may vary in poor weather conditions. HCA membership passholders, including marina and campground visitors, may use this entrance. Visitors who purchase a pass before accessing the area will be permitted entrance by showing proof of purchase if they have not yet received their pass.

Boats, trailers and RVs are not permitted to enter through this gate. Please note that no parking is permitted along Kelson Road, which is posted as a no-parking zone.
