The tour is booked for 6 hours. Credit Valley Conservation lists the marsh's five trails at 3.0 km in total, about 65 minutes by its own time estimates, so a walk at that pace fills only part of the booking.

The tour meets at Jack Darling Memorial Park, 1180 Lakeshore Rd W, Mississauga; we email the exact spot once your booking is confirmed. Credit Valley Conservation says parking is only in that park's lot, parking on surrounding streets is not permitted, and visitors should make other plans if the lot is full. Washrooms are at Jack Darling Memorial Park (checked 29 October 2026).

This page does not state that transport to the meeting point is included, and it does not name a vehicle or a guide. Rattray Marsh is in Mississauga, a separate city from Toronto. If you want a ride or a pickup arranged, ask us before you book, by email to info@voyzo.com or in the quote form on this page, and we confirm what can be arranged.

Credit Valley Conservation lists entry to Rattray Marsh as free and says it is open 7 days a week from after sunrise to before sunset (checked 29 October 2026). The City of Mississauga lists Jack Darling Memorial Park, where the tour meets, as open daily from dawn until 11 p.m. The marsh closes earlier, so we confirm a start time that fits the daylight on your date.

The tour is private for your group only. Rattray Marsh Conservation Area is open to the public and entry is free, so you may share the trails with other visitors; Credit Valley Conservation says it receives more than 300,000 visitors a year. Voyzo does not control who else visits the area on your date.

The stops include the marsh boardwalks, the Sheridan Creek Trail and the Knoll Trail lookout. Credit Valley Conservation lists the Knoll Trail as a 0.3 km boardwalk loop of about 10 minutes and the Sheridan Creek Trail as 0.4 km of about 10 minutes through old-growth forest and wildflowers. We confirm the route and the order of the stops by email.

Credit Valley Conservation lists birding among the activities, counts 227 bird species at the marsh, lists herons, rabbits, beavers, deer and foxes among its wildlife, and calls it a stop-over site for birds in spring and fall migration. Sightings depend on the day and the season and are never guaranteed on the tour. The conservation authority asks visitors to observe wildlife from a distance and never feed it.

Credit Valley Conservation's Rattray Marsh pages describe no winter closure and ask visitors to check its Park Advisories before leaving home. It says all boardwalks are slippery when wet, and Environment Canada's 1991-2020 normals for Toronto Pearson airport show 31.5 cm of snow in January. Tell us your date and we confirm by email what the conditions mean for it.

This page states no weather rule for the tour. Credit Valley Conservation says all boardwalks are slippery when wet. You can cancel up to 24 hours before your tour date, and if the forecast worries you, email info@voyzo.com and we confirm by email what can be done for your date.

Credit Valley Conservation marks all five Rattray Marsh trails stroller friendly and rates four easy and the White Pine Trail moderate. It does not address wheelchair access, and this page does not state that a wheelchair-accessible vehicle is available, so tell us your needs and your children's ages before you book and we confirm what can be arranged.

Credit Valley Conservation's visitor rules require pets on a six-foot leash (or less) and do not allow drones or alcoholic beverages in its conservation areas; a permit may be required for commercial photography. Cycling is not permitted through the marsh. Personal photography is a listed activity. Meals are not part of the tour price. Whether pets can join this tour is not stated, so ask us.

Dress for the weather on your date, because the outing is outdoors, and wear shoes with a grip, since Credit Valley Conservation says all boardwalks are slippery when wet.

The price ladder runs to 56 guests. Credit Valley Conservation lists parking only at the Jack Darling Memorial Park lot, mentions no bus or coach parking, and gives the Knoll Trail boardwalk an average width of 2.0 m. We confirm by email how a larger group is handled, so tell us your group size and vehicles when you request your date.

Credit Valley Conservation says that after the death of the estate's owner, a proposal would have turned the marsh into a marina basin for a private yacht club. A citizens' Rattray Marsh Preservation Committee led by Dr. Ruth Hussey campaigned against it, and, with the support of the City of Mississauga, the conservation authority acquired the lands in the mid-1970s (its 50th-anniversary page says 1973; its foundation says 1975).
