A 230-acre nature oasis, Scout Valley offers three loop trails which are dominated by mature deciduous forest, a natural spring and stream, and a scenic lookout over Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching.

The oldest house in Orillia, known as Regan House, has also found new life at Scout Valley after being moved and carefully reconstructed at the Line 15 parking lot entrance. 

Before visiting, please visit the Couchiching Conservancy website to learn more about conservation efforts, landscape information, and trail maps. Please note, cycling is not permitted within Scout Valley.

Orillia is nestled between two beautiful lakes and is home to two public beaches: Couchiching Beach, located at Couchiching Beach Park, and Moose Beach, located at J.B. Tudhope Memorial Park. Be sure to check public swim conditions before you go.
