Brandon Hills Wildlife Conservation Area

Brandon Hills Wildlife Conservation Area is located just off of Highway 10, south of the city of Brandon. Turn off of Hwy 10 onto High Country Rd. The road is located right next to an old antique shoppe called Carriage Antiques. Drive about 2 km east then turn right, heading south, when you reach the dead end. Keep driving south till you see a large sign on your left that says "Brandon Hills Wildlife Conservation Area." There is about 7.5km of trail you can explore with your dog on or off the leash. There are three loops to the trail. If you feel like you can't walk for 2-3 hours, take one of the shorter loops which is less distance and less time. Depending what time of the year, you can almost always see some kind of wildlife such as deer, grouse, moose and occasionally even a black bear. Mostly squirrels and birds. If you wander out with your dog in the spring/early summer, bring lots of repellent for ticks and mosquitoes.
