Old-growth cottonwood is rapidly disappearing in the Okanagan Valley. The remnant protected in the park is important. Trails along Trout Creek access the edges of the old-growth.
The cottonwoods and associated wetland thickets provide food and shelter for a variety of birds, insects, and small mammals. Bird seen in the area include the northern oriole, warbling vireos and the blue-listed Lewis’s woodpecker. The park also conserves 558 m of shoreline and 100 m of Okanagan Lake foreshore.
