It has an outdoor centre, and houses the headquarters of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority. In the winter the conservation area is popular for ice skating, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and chickadee feeding. In the summer, several day camps operate, and popular activities are canoeing, kayaking and bird-watching. Composed of pond, marsh, field, and forest habitats, a diverse collection of animal and plant species can be found.
