[2] The conservation area contains Crawford Lake, a reconstructed Iroquoian village, and several hiking trails.

The village, thought to be inhabited by either the Wendat (Huron) or Neutral Confederacy peoples, has been reconstructed in the conservation area and is based on many years of research by archaeologists, who continue to study the site.

The lake is named after the Crawford family, who lived on the site and donated the land to the conservation authority.

The Crawford family also owned a cedar tree farm on the opposite side of the lake.

Another trail leads to the escarpment, and another connects to nearby Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area.
