Wildlife Viewing
Moose often feed in the marshes at dawn and dusk. More commonly
seen throughout the park are red fox, beaver, mink, otter, snowshoe
hare and red squirrel. On rare occasions, you might see or hear
evidence of the elusive wolf, black bear and lynx in the backcountry.
Plants
In the campgrounds and along nature trails, moccasin flower (pink
ladyslipper orchid) grows among the pines. Wild rose, pitcher plants
and snowberry also flourish here along with everyone's favourite,
the edible blueberry!
Birds
Birdwatchers will be rewarded with sightings of bald eagles, osprey,
great blue herons, ruffed grouse and songbirds throughout the park.
Listen for the echoing call of the loon at twilight on Burnfield
Lake.
