On-site facilities include a sleeper trailer and access to cooking and washroom facilities. Sandy beaches and dunes are found at the eastern end of the lake. Hilly, mixed wood forests of trembling aspen, balsam poplar, balsam fir, white spruce, and black spruce surround the lake. Two Alberta sub-regions, Central Mixedwood and Lower Foothills, are represented at Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park. There is a rich delta that leads into Buffalo Bay at the western end of the lake.
Waterfowl viewing opportunities are spectacular around the bay.
