Cold Creek Conservation Area

Cold Creek Conservation Area is a protected natural area in south-central Ontario at the western end of King Township, where it overlaps the Oak Ridges Moraine. Opened on 20 June 1962 through the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, it preserves representative moraine landscapes and the wetland known as Cold Creek Swamp. Covering about 190 hectares, the area has been recognized by Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources as a provincially significant life science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest and was also classified for the International Biological Program. Its swamp, forest, and boreal peat bog habitats support biodiversity, including at least 110 recorded bird species, while also providing low-impact recreation such as hiking.
