One of the most popular climbing areas in Southern Ontario, largely due to the proximity to large urban areas. The area is very popular with both climbers and non-climbers.

Bolts were installed across Rattlesnake Point climb areas in 2006, in an effort to improve safety and minimize environmental impact. They are tested on a regular basis for safety and possible impacts
