A pathway along the lake allows for closer inspection of the birds. For example, swans, mallards, little grebe, moorhens, and coots are usually present.

There is an observation area to view the birds and other wildlife. Parking is available.

In July 2000, Kiltonga Nature Reserve became the first site in the UK to be awarded BT Millennium Miles status.
