Rattlesnake Point

Rattlesnake Point is a conservation and climbing area on a peninsula near Milton, Ontario, situated on cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment. The property features approximately ten kilometers of forest trails connected to the Bruce Trail system, with access to several climbing walls.

The area was designated as protected land by the Halton Region Conservation Authority in 1961, though the name itself was documented as early as 1857. The peninsula has long served as a recognizable landmark for people traveling through the region.

Kletterer aus der Region nutzen die verschiedenen Felswände zum Klettern und Trainieren, während Wanderer die Höhenlagen des Escarpments für ihre Ausflüge schätzen.

Access to the site is available through multiple entry points connected to the Bruce Trail and adjacent protected areas such as Mount Nemo and Lowville. The location offers clear navigation through marked trails and welcomes both hikers and climbers of varying skill levels.

The name does not come from rattlesnakes, but from a winding path carved by glaciers along the edges of the Niagara Escarpment. This glacial formation shapes the landscape and gave the place its distinctive name.
