Named after an early pioneer family of the Columbia River Valley, the park encompasses the portion of the provincially significant Columbia River marshes called the Moberly Marsh.
The park provides excellent viewing opportunities of nesting and rearing habitat for diverse marshland wildlife, including waterfowel and songbird species. There are no developed hiking trails, but walking areas along the developed dikes can provide further viewing opportunities.
This area, also a Ducks Unlimited Conservation project, protects the northern portion of the Columbia River Wetlands that stretch 185 km (115 mi) between Canal Flats and Golden.
The Columbia Wetlands are recognized by scientists and naturalists world wide for its remarkable variety and abundance of amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, fish and invertebrates. These remaining wetlands of the Pacific Flyway are critical resting and feeding areas for resident and migratory birds.
This park has a small vehicle pull-out viewing area along the Trans Canada Highway with no picnic tables or other facilities.
