Many varieties of sparrows, finches, buntings, flycatchers and birds of prey make the park their home either all year around or when migrating. The area is on the western edge of the migratory route of the monarch butterfly where hundreds of thousands of bright orange wings can cover the trunk of a tree. Each season brings a different attraction to the park. Take a refreshing dip in one of three easily accessible pools of water or glide down the river on an innertube. For those who are a bit more adventurous, there are private canoe services available to accommodate a visitor with either a three, six or eight hour canoe trip.
Fishermen enjoy the ability to arrive at a fishing hole by floating down the river in a canoe.
Fall finds the park exploding into an array of colors with oaks and maples painting the hillsides with shades of yellow, oranges, and reds. Another of nature s signs that fall has arrived is the increase of numbers of the wild turkey population. Groups of twenty or more turkeys slowly make their trek through the woods and open fields. As suddenly as the color appears, the leaves fall, and winter blankets the landscape. Then another kind of bird is welcomed here.
