J Henry Tweed Conservation Area

Nature & Wildlife Areas, Biking Trails

This conservation area spans 16 acres and is full of greenery, trails and clean country air. The land was donated in 1980 to provide a public recreational area for future generations.

The park links to the Russell Township New Central Fitness Trail, a converted railway perfect for cycling and rollerblading. The trail is moderately difficult and can be used for hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and cycling.

Keith M. Boyd Museum

This museum was founded and created by the late Keith M. Boyd and is now operated by the Russell Historical Society. The museum contains many photographs and artifacts dating back to the early 1800s. The Museum occupies two buildings, a former church built in 1856 and a former fire hall constructed around 1971.

If you’re lucky enough to come in September, you’ll catch the Russell Heritage Festival, where there will be plenty of activities such as a scavenger hunt, old-time ice cream making, horse-drawn carriages and wagon rides.

RiverOak Ice Skating Trail

Looking to get out of the house in the winter months? This adorable forest trail skating rink is just the place to be. Many different ice-skating trails wind through the forest, so be sure to see it all. Trail lights allow for night skating once you’re done or want to take a break, cozy up by the fire with a warm cup of hot chocolate.
