Walking along the edges of the baseball diamonds and the beach are typically the best places to look, but birds can be found throughout the park. Typically the best birding is in the spring before the main gates open.

Squirrel Creek Conservation Area is a 111.4 hectare area maintained by the Township of Otonabee South Monaghan. It provides the public with day-use recreational activities such as swimming, baseball, hiking, boating, and fishing. 

Squirrel Creek Conservation Area is located along the Otonabee River, offering a lovely public beach and a boat launch that is free for the public to use. The area also features two picnic shelters and two baseball diamonds. It is a great place to snowshoe and cross-country ski in winter. 

Boaters are asked to remember to get back before the gates lock at 9:00 p.m.
