Wildlife Viewing
The entire Sandstone Unit is open to wildlife viewing. Best viewing times are early morning and evening. Deer, beaver, ruffed grouse, woodcock, wood ducks and mallards can be seen on the unit. Many species of songbirds can also be seen.
Hiking, Snowshoeing, Cross-Country Skiing
Old logging trails and roads make excellent places for observing wildlife, and although trails aren't groomed, they are great for winter activities such as snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. We encourage people to leave their vehicle and explore the Sandstone Unit. In winter, the hardy soul may be rewarded with great wildlife viewing opportunities.
Fishing
Fishing opportunities are available in the Kettle River, which is located on the west side of the unit.
