The day use or picnic area, located by the beach on Swimming Pond, is equipped with a changing house, picnic tables garbage cans and pit toilets. The 4.3-mile sandy beach is ideal for walks and hikes.
Visitors can see shorebirds feeding in the shallows.
Other trails pass inland, through forest and bog, to lookouts such as that at Cow Hill. This vegetation is easily eroded by trails, resulting in sand blowouts. Because of this, it is important to stay on designated trails. The park has another unusual feature, a freshwater outflow of Heron Pond and Grepesy Brook. At high tide, saltwater flows up Grepesy Brook to Heron Pond, while at low tide, freshwater flows down the brook to the ocean.
