Lake Belwood was created as a result of the construction of the Shand Dam, in 1942. The Shand Dam was the first of its kind in Canada, being built for both water conservation and flood protection purposes. The Shand Dam offers visitors spectacular views of the Grand River valley. It also offers various swimming opportunities for the whole family.
Belwood Lake Belwood Lake Conservation Area (CA) is a great place for fishing, swimming, canoeing, sailing, boating, water skiing, hiking, cycling - and ice fishing! It has a one-acre cool spring-fed quarry below the dam, with a beach and a fenced-in swimming area for little kids. The 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) long lake is the perfect spot for all your recreational activities. The Conservation Area is 1,348 hectares (3,329 acres) large, and includes about 350 seasonal private cottages.
Belwood Lake Conservation Area (CA) is only 3 kilometers east of Fergus, on Belsyde Avenue (Wellington County Road 18). It is governed by the Grand River Conservation Authority, which was established in 1966 through the amalgamation of the Grand River Conservation Commission and the Grand Valley Conservation Authority. 2006 marked their 40th Anniversary.
