Rattlesnake Point, Conservation and climbing area in Milton, Ontario

The site extends over cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment, featuring ten kilometers of forest trails connecting with the Bruce Trail and Crawford Lake.

The Conservation Area received its designation from the Halton Region Conservation Authority in 1961, though the name dates back to at least 1857.

Rock climbing routes at Rattlesnake Point include Buffalo Crag, Main Wall, and East and West Cliffs, attracting climbers from across Ontario.

The conservation area contains eighteen group campsites and provides multiple access points to the Bruce Trail through Mount Nemo, Lowville, Kelso, and Kilbride.

The name originates from a snake-like path carved by glaciers along the Niagara Escarpment edges, not from the presence of actual rattlesnakes.
