Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility. The park abounds in wildlife and its features appeal to the naturalist, the plant lover or one who would do nothing more than relax in beautiful surroundings. The Nature House, located on Lost Lagoon's south side, offers educational materials as well as seasonal walking tours.

The rushes and small islands in the lake make a natural nesting place for the various species that live here..
