The park's position on Greers Ferry Lake combines mountain and water ecosystems, surrounded by a rich tapestry of native trees including aromatic red cedar, resilient black gum, stately red oak, graceful elm, productive pecan, and distinctive sweet gum. This diverse forest creates multiple micro-habitats that support the area's abundant wildlife and provide ever-changing scenery throughout the seasons.
