Recreation Notes

Birding: the Lesser Slave Lake region is an Important Bird Area of Global Significance for 3 main reasons: up to 20% of the western population of tundra swans stop to feed on the lake; reeds around the lake provide nesting habitat for a globally important western grebe population; and the area's incredible concentration and diversity of migrant songbirds, including yellow warbler, bay-breasted warbler and red-eyed vireo; the park hosts a songbird festival each spring.

Boating: boat launching available south of the park at Lesser Slave River.

Cross-country skiing: an insulated warm-up shelter is provided for skiers and other winter enthusiasts.

Golf: golf course located in the park.
