Flora include widgeon grass and eelgrass. Tidal changes lag one to three hours behind those in the Northumberland Strait depending upon wind speed and direction. Freshwater habitats are not a significant park feature. They comprise small rivers, brooks and numerous ponds all located in bogs. Livain Lake and Jardine Lake are the only two lakes, and they are shallow and quite acid.
All freshwater is highly coloured with organic matter seepage from bogs and fens.
