Arkalon Park
Arkalon Park
is the perfect spot for hiking, fishing, picnicking and camping.
The park has ponds, streams, marshes, and three lakes, all of
which are stocked with fish. Many species of wildlife, including
beavers, deer, turtles, snakes, squirrels, raccoons, and a variety
of birds, including Canadian geese, bluebirds and falcons make
Arkalon Park their home. Nature trails through the marsh area
provide an opportunity to see the wildlife in its natural habitat.
Electrical hookups in the campground area, a bathhouse, a RV dump
station, and a shelter facility are also provided.
