Currently undergoing some upgrade work for RV parking but most still accessable. The small centre is free to enter for locals and is informative for kids and adults on the wildlife in the area. The staff member on was great and interacted well with our grandkids and showed them some of the detail and explained about the animals. You can walk down to see the dam and the river that flows away under the bridge. You can walk round the lake and up the river and there are some seating areas. It was mid November when we visited so most plants had died back but it's still a pleasant walk. The parking area has a number of enclosures housing rescued animals that can't be returned to the wild, and the rear field has a number of Bison in it. Keep a eye out over head as we saw a pair of bald eagles circling. In the trees are a number of other small birds. There's a small kids play area and you can walk your dog on a lead but not near the animal enclosures. Not sure about the detail on the RV park but it's kitted out with barbeques etc. Parking is easy however not sure if there would be enough for summer season.

Spreading out from home base on where we camp. This park is sweet, quiet, laid back and they have things like, animals, staffed nature center. The camp sites are large, biggest I've ever seen. No current full hookup sites, but later this summer a bunch are being added. When we were here some Amish were camped out and a young girl came around selling home baked goods. We got some cinnamon rolls and had for breakfast, wow good stuff. Don't think that is a regular occurrence, but it was a nice treat. Didn't detect Wi-Fi, but there was a strong 5G signal for those who need it. We will be coming back to camp here.

Seems like a nice place for family gatherings, fishing, and hiking. There is a small conservation area with some animals (raccoons, skunks, coyote, foxes, etc.). Some of the enclosures seemed a little small for some of the animals, but overall they looked well taken care of, clean, and comfortable. The area near the water and playground was clean. We will be back at some point to fish.
