The park provides numerous recreational opportunities including playgrounds for children, facilities for hiking, biking and fishing, and sail- and paddle-boat rentals.

The park has over 14 miles of maintained biking and hiking trails,[2] many of which (including those around the lake) are paved.

Although most of the park is open to the public, access to some areas is restricted in the interest of wildlife preservation.

Parking is available immediately adjacent to the Nature Center, which also includes a small gift shop.

[4] Other common and oft-sighted fauna include white-tailed deer, groundhogs, various species of fish, rabbits, and turtles.
