Peat bogs that are home to rare post-glacial plants which can be found in numerous glacial depressions and at the edges of small forest lakes.

The park’s wildlife includes trout in the crystal-clear waters of the rivers, as well as water fowl, birds of prey, beaver and elk. The wood grouse is the park’s symbol. Lake Charzykowskie, adjoining the park, attracts many sailing enthusiasts.
