Actually, very little in the way of wildlife in this park. Get some birds and a good number of squrrals but not much moe then that. Park had a large population of ferrel cats for a few years. Don't know what they did about it but have noticed a great reduction in numbers over the last year or so.
Do have a funny "animal" story in connection with this park. We were out there about 2 years ago with our DD, SIL & grand kids. A huge dog (about 100 lbs) came wondering around. Didn't hurt any one and we found out that the other kids had been playing with him (not something I'd allow but not my call). Also found out from "Mr. Ranger" that the dog had been in the park for a week or two and they were about ready to take him to the pound. SIL decided he wanted the dog and "Mr. Ranger" said fine. SIL took the dog home and then to the vet. Found out he was a full blood Akita
, worth a good bit of money if SIL had his papers
! Though huge, "Ranger" has turned out to be a great pet. Just goes to show, you never know what you might come across. Below is a link to give you an idea what this dog looks like.

Hope this helps and happy camping!
