In 2012, the Conservation Authority, together with the Friends of La Vase, created a new walking trail at the northern reaches of the historic La Vase Portage. It allows enthusiasts to experience the tranquil waters of a portion of this passageway used by Voyageurs between Trout Lake and Lake Nipissing. The short hike takes about 45 minutes to complete.

Despite being surrounded by urban activity, Laurier Woods is a natural 240-acre haven in the heart of the city. Its preservation has been overseen by dedicated citizens of the Friends of Laurier Woods and the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority. Over time, a series of overlapping looped trails have been developed. The provincially significant wetland complex is home to a tremendous diversity of birds and wetland species. Guided hikes are offered in the spring and an ongoing tally of wildlife spotted in the marsh is posted at the trailhead.
