Located within a beautiful natural setting, Howlers Corners is easily accessible from the main parking lot in Ken Reid Conservation Area, at 277 Kenrei (Park) Rd., north of Lindsay.
Howlers Corners is open every day from 7 am to 9 pm (8 am to 6 pm from November to April).
You will need to bring your own water, and remember to bring baggies and pick up after their dogs. Baggies will be available if you forget.
All of the rules of the run are posted at the park, and enforcement staff will be on site periodically to ensure visitors are following them.
