This 5420-acre park offers something for everyone. It provides excellent habitat for fish (smallmouth bass, rock bass, channel catfish and white suckers). Its banks harbor wood ducks and shore birds. Songbirds, chickadees, finches, bluebirds and woodpeckers, including the pileated, are plentiful. Raptors include red-shouldered and red-tailed hawks and great horned owls. Wild turkeys are numerous and ruffled grouse and woodcock are occasionally seen. Red fox, raccoon, skunk, opossum, muskrat, mink and beaver use the area and both fox and gray squirrels are found in the timbered hills. There is an abundance of white-tailed deer.
Twenty-five miles of hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, and equestrian trails can be found in this beautiful setting.
There are 49 non-modern campsites with a portion of the camping area available to equestrian camping.
