Caledon is a town of 76,600 people (2021), large in size and mostly rural, in the Peel region of the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario. The Niagara Escarpment and the Credit River run through the town, and there are many areas of natural beauty. Within Caledon is found the village of Bolton, whose historic centre stretches a few blocks on King Road and Queen Street. The village of Belfountain is quite pretty, with older-style wood buildings all around.

Encompassing a gorge along a swiftly-flowing stretch of the Credit River, the park is on the Bruce Trail and Trans-Canada Trail, and is part of the Niagara Escarpment biosphere. Other notable features include a kettle lake and talus slope. Several trails provide good routes for hiking, biking, or snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in winter (note that trails are not maintained in winter, and there are no warming facilities). Ruins of an abandoned mill and dam are visible from a lookout toward the north part of the park.

The conservation area includes a large aquatic area, campground, and network of hiking and biking trails. In winter, 27 km of trails are groomed for cross-country skiing.
