The remaining park land is planted in native grasses, wildflowers, and pollinator habitat.

Fishing

The park is a very popular spot amongst local shorefisherman for a variety of Panfish, Largemouth Bass, and Northern Pike. There is a 30 foot long floating fishing pier that allows you to get off of shore, in addition to the shorefishing provided within the park. While there is not a launch point located within the park, Le Sueur County owns a public landing that is located less than a quarter mile south of the park on County Road 11. The public landing also provides a large area of shorefishing on the lake.
