Walkways and boardwalks lead pedestrians on a 1.5 km stroll through some sensitive and beautiful habitats and interpretive signs tell the environmental story at points along the path. Fishing platforms are available along the shore at 2 points and a canoe launch is located near the picnic shelter for access to the Rideau river for canoe and kayak enthusiasts.
