The site includes camping areas with basic facilities, walking paths of varying lengths, and historic structures from earlier settlement periods.
The area was established in 1955 as one of Ontario's early conservation spaces devoted to protecting natural habitats. It also preserves a family log cabin from the 1830s that documents how early settlers lived in this region.

The area is open during daylight hours and offers trails suitable for visitors of different abilities through woodlands and wetlands. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and wear sturdy footwear, as path conditions vary depending on the season.
The location shelters one of southern Ontario's largest breeding colonies of herons in its wetlands. This bird population was a key reason the land became protected and remains carefully monitored today.
