Hikers and equestrians share a 12-mile trail through open prairie. There are also several other hiking and biking trails in the area.
Cyclists enjoy the park's paved roadways, which offer up to 75 miles of riding.
The park is home to several varieties of squirrels, rabbits, beaver, foxes, lizards, waterfowl and songbirds. A flock of Canada geese resides in the reservoir.
