Lewis and Clark Lake attracts large numbers and numerous species of migrating waterfowl. Snow Geese flocks should be scanned for Ross’s Goose. 20 species of ducks have been reported. Trumpeter Swans have been found here on March trips.

There is a good blend of open and wooded terrain, all accessible on foot. The park is a productive area for small songbirds, especially warblers.

Lewis and Clark Lake (Sugar Lake): The south shore of the lake is easily accessible from the park with ample parking. The north shore of the lake is accessible along North Shore Drive. A large amount of reed area is observable from a car. After exiting the campground go north and take the first left.
