Besides camping, fishing, and hiking, this site also hosts good “water birding” and other nature study opportunities. In particular, Little Sister Lake often
hosts butterflies, dragonflies, and songbirds along its brushy shoreline, as well as geese, herons, egrets, ducks, and other water birds on its open water.
