The park contains a colony of Townsend's big-eared bats, considered a sensitive species in Oregon.

[4] The equestrian trail system and facilities include: a very large parking area, portable toilets, a covered picnic area, a handicapped mounting ramp, a regular mounting block, an outdoor warm-up arena, a small round pen, and several training stations along the upper trail loop.

The stations include: a teeter-totter bridge, a suspension bridge, a farm gate, a back through chute, a "mountain trail" area with small boulders, roots, and logs to step through, two large logs to cross and sidepass, a small water crossing, concrete cavaletti to cross, a two-tiered step-up box, and an 18-by-18-inch (46 by 46 cm) balance beam, 36 feet (11 m) long, with a 20-degree bend in the middle.

The park's master plan calls for the construction of a horse camping area as well.
