The recreation area includes several campgrounds, day use areas, and a group camp.

Huge herds of bison once roamed the plains of Alberta in numbers of up to an estimated 60 million in the 17th century. Due to excessive overhunting and a steady loss of habitat, they are now listed on the province's endangered list. Just a short distance north of Waterton Lakes Nation Park on Highway 6 is the Waterton Bison Paddock, where a protected herd of rare Plains bison is kept for viewing as a reminder of their legacy as well as in attempt to aid in increasing their population size and advance their species.
