A 1990s assessment of 1:10,000 colour mapping photography, by the Natural Resources Parks & Recreation Department, identified several areas of ecological interest.

Two large wetlands containing diverse plant communities and micro-landforms provide important habitat for a variety of wildlife species (1&3). 

The large peninsula is an excellent

example of a “drumlin” (2). This drumlin has

the classic cigar shape as well as the

appropriate orientation of its long axis,

being northwest-southeast.
A forest stand of near old growth, or

possibly mature old growth white pine and

red spruce, situated on a well-drained

drumlin (4) and another mature stand of

red spruce (5).
Unique to the park is a stand containing

the majority of tree species within the

province, growing together in a small

area (6). It is extremely unusual to find this

diversity of tree species on such a relatively homogeneous site as specific habitats are preferred by individual species.
