Interpretive signs, which can be viewed from the water, provide information on habitats, fish and wildlife.
The interpretive route is the best section of the creek for beginners and children (rated "easy"). There are a couple of small portages over beaver dams.
More experienced canoeists can canoe Jarvis Creek from Jarvis Lake to Gregg Lake. This is a longer, more challenging route that goes through all five lakes. Low water levels, sweepers and portages make this route more difficult.
It is possible to paddle portions of Jarvis Creek from Gregg Lake. However, there is no service available to transport a canoe or kayak from the rental spot to access the Jarvis Creek Interpretive Canoe Route section of the creek.
Fishing
All five lakes have northern pike and lake whitefish.
The park also has stocked fish.
Trout pond is stocked with hundreds of rainbow trout each spring. The pond is accessed by a short trail off the Cache Lake Campground access road.
Fishing licenses and Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) cards (required to purchase a sportfishing licence) are available online. Everyone between the ages of 16 and 65 must have an Alberta anglers license to fish. Seniors residing outside of Alberta must also purchase an Alberta angling license.
Hiking
Switzer Park has many spectacular trails for hiking.
