The main facilities and amenities are located at Peck Lake and Little Fishing Lake. Little Fishing Lake has a campground, sandy beach, fishing, and boating.[4] The community of Little Fishing Lake is beside the campground on the western shore. Peck Lake has a campground, sandy beach, cabins and cottages, and lake access for boating and fishing.[5]
There are several other accessible lakes in the park. Most of the lakes, including the aforementioned Peck and Little Fishing, are well stocked. Some of these other lakes include Round,[6] Worthington, Ministikwan, Galletly,[7] Moonshine, Halfmoon (Spirit), Monnery, Bronson, Cache, Bear, and Spitser.[8][9] Fish found in the lakes include northern pike, walleye, yellow perch, lake whitefish, white sucker, burbot, splake, and rainbow trout.[10] Worthington Lake is a bifurcation lake with its northern outflow going into Ministikwan Lake and the Beaver River drainage basin via Ministikwan Creek and Makwa River and its southern outflow going into the North Saskatchewan River basin via Galletly and Peck Lakes and Monnery River. The northern end of the park runs along the southern and eastern shores of Ministikwan Lake. Johnson's Outfitters and Ministikwan Lodge are located along Ministikwan's eastern shore.[11]
Wild Ponies of the Bronson Forest
The wild ponies are feral horses that live in the Bronson Forest in the meadows near Bronson Lake, which is west of the recreation site. In the 1990s, there were over 125 horses and by the early 2010s, that number had fallen to 35. Predation from wolves, poaching, and harsh winters have strained the population. Colts have a survival rate of only about 24%. Battles for leadership of the herd have caused smaller groups to split off from what used to be an inseparable herd; further increasing the risk of population decline from predation.
It is the only known herd of feral horses in Saskatchewan and, in 2009, the Saskatchewan government passed legislation to protect the horses. At about 12 to 14 hands and lightly built, they are smaller than typical local domestic horses.[12][13]
