| Limestone Edge - Kelso Conservation Area |
Stretching over 3.97 square kilometers, Kelso Conservation Area is a great place to explore anytime. If you are looking for a place to
cool off during the summer, check out Kelso Lake with its sandy beach or bring
the canoe, kayak or dingy.

| Kelso Lake Beach |
The property was sold to Conservation Halton in 1961. Kelso
Lake helps provide flood control for the Sixteen Mile Creek and makes sure the
town of Milton Ontario remains dry. The water control dam was built several
years after the purchase for $325,000.
