Coyote Lake is a rich biological area in a dry mixed-wood boreal forest and parkland transition zone. The natural area is home to more than 22 mammal species, 154 types of birds9 of which are at risk and 266 different plants, including rare and uncommon orchids. Coyote Lake provides important feeding habitat for great blue herons, resting sites for numerous migrating waterfowl, and nesting habitat for the red-necked grebe, common loon, and ring-necked duck. The absence of insecticide spraying in recent years has allowed bird populations to increase dramatically.
