Devils Lake, North Dakota's largest natural body of water, is home to a state park and a recreation area — Grahams Island State Park and Black Tiger Bay State boat ramp.
The area is known for its waterfowl, including snow and blue geese, ducks and grebes. There are abundant woodland birds as warblers, flycatchers and woodpeckers, which are unique in North Dakota.
Wildlife at the park includes red foxes, raccoons, squirrels, white-tailed deer, coyotes and beavers, as well as wild turkeys. Moose have also been spotted there.
Grahams Island and Black Tiger Bay are densely wooded, typical species being bur oak, hackberry, green ash and trembling aspen. The prairie rose, North Dakota's state flower, is abundant on Grahams Island.
