This park's claim to fame are the majestic Bald and Golden Eagles that migrate through. Beginning in late October both Bald and Golden Eagles arrive to nest at Caballo. Numerous Golden Eagles nest in the nearby Caballo foothills, while Bald Eagles will nest in a large areas around the park, as well as within the park. Swimming, skiing, fishing, jet skiing, and windsurfing are some of the great activities available at the Park. Both lake and river provide anglers with the opportunity to catch a variety of fish. The area is home to largemouth bass, walleye, white bass, catfish, crappie, bluegill, northern pike, sunfish, and an occasional rainbow trout.

• Take a hike: Visitors can stroll among yuccas, century plants, ocotillos, cow tongues, prickly pears, and other desert cacti growing in the park's two cacti gardens. Most of these cactus provide beautiful blooms in late March and early April.
