The variety of birdlife includes bobolinks, meadowlarks, goldfinches, robins, and warblers. In the spring and fall the bays are filled with migrating ducks and Canada geese. Terns, gulls, sandpipers, herons, kingfishers and osprey live along the shore. The park is also home to the midland painted turtle and the snapping turtle. Campsites are set in a variety of landscapes from private, wooded lots to open fields with interesting views.
All campsites are within an easy walk of comfort stations and showers.
Choose from a wide range of outdoor activities including swimming, boating, fishing, camping, hiking, picnicking and horseback riding. During weekends, guided horseback excursions depart regularly from the equestrian centre, which also offers pony rides and riding lessons. Three sandy beaches provide lots of opportunity for swimming. Rent a boat, canoe or paddleboat in the day-use area, or launch your own boat from one of the park's three boat ramps. Fish in the spring for catfish and barbotte, or in the summer for bass, pike, perch and walleye.
