Enjoy the relatively easy stair climb up the tower to see up to 100 Heron Nests in the trees to the west - especially in the early spring when the Cottonwood trees are still leafless. Also the view in all the other directions are a treat.
Also walk the many trails (8 km of them) and visit the 2,400 sq. ft. Rotary Interpretive Centre.
