Cold Creek Conservation Area, usually Cold Creek, is an ecologically diverse protected Area of Natural and Scientific Interest in south-central Ontario, Canada. The 190-hectare (470-acre) conservation area was opened on June 20, 1962 by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.[2] It is located on the western end of King Township, overlapping the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Government of Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources classifies the area as a provincially-significant Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (Life Science) for its "provincially or regionally significant representative ecological features".[3][4] The area was also a site classified for the International Biological Program.[5] The Life Science area, known as Cold Creek Swamp,[6] is composed of a swamp[7] and forest.

Cold Creek has hiking trails that cover the Oak Ridges Moraine and a boreal peat bog, among others. At least 110 species of birds have been observed at Cold Creek.[8] Nest boxes are distributed throughout the conservation area to house birds and bats.
