Permitted Uses

Hiking

Explore the existing wetlands, swamps, mixed forests and tranquil Bog Board-walk. Cold Creek offers 6.6 km of marked scenic nature trails for any beginner or seasoned hiker.

Bird Watching

Cold Creek provides excellent viewing of birds. Hundreds of species of birds take advantage of the varied habitats of wetland, forest and meadow protected in our conservation area. With 55+ bird boxes on site assisting with shelter and nesting, we are seeing a consistent rise and return of bird species, a great sign of a healthy and diverse ecosystem.
