Dust off your hiking shoes, and pack a lunch, The area does not have long hiking trails, but they are beautiful. We go to little bluff several times a year to relax, find some more fossils in the limestone, and do some snorkeling along the shore. More of a back to nature place. Some trails have a fairly steep grade, so not the best for people with mobility issues. Here is the Quinte Conservation flyer.

It has directions, a map, and additional description.
Enjoy!

If you're looking to spend a day at an 'out of the way' conservation area, this is it. About 20 mins from Picton in Prince Edward County. The drive to get there is worthwhile...beautiful scenery and little traffic. A few trails, clean, a really cool beach with shallow, sandy warm water. a picnic area with tables...and a covered area. Bathrooms too. The views are magnificent, the fauna plentiful, the smells are outstanding. Worth the drive....plan on spending a few hours to see it all. It's a little slice of heaven.

We were staying in the Sandbanks area and we decided to do an outing. Little Bluff Conservation Area had been recommended. We found it easily and paid Quinte Conservation $5 for parking using our mobile phone. There are two trails (red and blue). We took the cliff trail and appreciated the great views of Lake Ontario. But stay inside the railing and keep an eye on children as you are walking near the edge of cliff. This trail eventually merges with the trail that leads you down to the beach. It is steep but there is a railing to hold onto and it's not very long. We had the beach to ourselves and we really enjoyed the views of the bay and the lake. Some family members did go into the cold water. There were snakes in the water, but they were afraid of us. Also, be careful, because there is a quick drop-off in the water. I would recommend staying close to the shore to be on the safe side. There were two sailboats anchored in the bay. It was a very pleasant few hours and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. The rocks on the beach are great for skipping rocks. Another great adventure away from the crowds!

Little Bluff closed due to abuse by visitors.. conservation area does not allow fires or camping but people are doing it when they cannot get into the provincial park. Garbage and human "skat" being left behind. No respect for the habitat and environment so the place has been closed down until further notice. Sadly, this will be what happens to all of the PE County sites until we smarten up and show some respect. Saw people camping on lawns and in fields. Big push back from locals. Best to make reservations before coming here, and if doing a day trip, do not do it on a weekend. No sense in it. And take you garbage home with you. Least that can be done.

Takes some time to get there and a bit of a hike down a steep incline along the bluff to reach the beach but well worth the walk!!! A secluded flat stone beach in a beautiful crystal clear cove. Great for sunbathing. Two cautions. There are water snakes which we have encountered almost every time we've been there, but they are nervous of people and swim away. Also, do not sit on the water's edge. Sit on the stones or swim in the water, but you can get a good dose of bloodsuckers if you sit half in,half out of the water on the edge of the shore. This location is not good for wheel chair accessibility and definitely bring solid sandals or water shoes to walk on the stones.

I hesitate to share my thoughts here, lest a bunch of people decide to descend upon this hidden gem. Until then, I will keep coming here and enjoying the crystal clear water, the amazing views, and the beautiful serenity.

Beautiful, clear water, peaceful. We loved it! So nice to swim at a beach without worrying about sand

We went here to take the dog for a hike. It doesn't have super long trails but the cliff walk had a nice view. There's an abandoned grainery on the one trail. However the cobble beach ended up being a nice little surprise - it's not a bad place to swim and when we were there we saw 3 other families but otherwise it was pretty secluded. Not a bad alternative when the beaches at the local Provincial Parks are too crowded (if your willing to trade rocks for sand though!)

Started as a side trip and ended in a history lesson.
Who knew that PEC was once the bread basket of Easter Canada- lots of barley was once shipped from here to The US. Worth a visit for the views too!

It was a super cloudy and a bit windy and it was raining on and off. When we arrived at the trail there was nobody else around and it felt like it was all ours. It's such a natural beauty and the view is spectacular. I would definitely recommend visiting the little bluffs. Even on a rainy day, but you must be careful at all times.
