The park's landscape changes dramatically from arid sagebrush flats to lakefront, and from flat terrain to steep cliffs.
Visitors can hike or bike along trails and dirt roads.
The park offers 170 campsites, open from spring to first snow. Some of the sites can be reserved. Birds include ospreys, red-tailed hawks, bald eagles, Canada geese, wood ducks and mallards, as well as songbirds, hummingbirds and woodpeckers. The park is rich in wildflowers, especially along the interpretive trail that winds through Meadow Marsh. The Lakeview Village Unit has 80 RV campsites and 900 feet of white sand beach.
