The park offers two lakes for a variety of boating and angling opportunities, camping, a playground, picnic areas, educational programs, archery range, and a Visitor Center. Martin Lake offers water skiing, power and sail boating, and because it is a warm-water lake, it makes it great for swimmers. Horseshoe Lake is a peaceful haven for canoeists, kayakers, sailors and other boaters at wakeless speeds. Visitors can take advantage of the fantastic southern Spanish Peaks while playing a round of golf, or hiking along prairie trails.
