[3] The upland slopes of Moore Park provide viewing of many species of migrant and nesting forest birds, including bald eagles.

[4] Ground squirrels and yellow-bellied marmots are most commonly seen in the summer close to rocky habitats of Moore Park.

Moore Park has 458 acres (185 ha; 0.716 sq mi) surrounded by grassy parkland sloping down to the lake from the roads on the south and east, and also habitats that range from juniper and sage steppe to dense pine forests.

Juniper has adapted to survive even under extreme dry conditions, which has led to its dominating sites by out-competing other vegetation.

Fire suppression in the Klamath Basin has permitted western juniper species to expand rapidly into adjacent plant communities.
