Fall colors for sumac and ash are about done for the season. Maples are at peak and the red oadks are just starting. Bur oaks are turning their usual shades of brown. Native grasses are very colorful. Most of the wildflowers are past their prime, but there is still quite a bit of color among the remaining flowers including asters and some sunflowers.
Camping is available on a rustic basis.

Oak savanna and prairie landscape, including wetlands, dominate most of the park. Another is the glacial esker located in the northeast section of the park.
