Harrison Lake is home for many migratory birds. Canadian Geese inhabit the lake and surrounding area, including the water and grassy areas of the shoreline. They feed even more intensively right before they fly north after the winter, storing energy for an active breeding period and preparing for a lack of food in the spring. Canada geese can also be found grazing on lawns, in parks and on golf courses. These birds are protected in Canada under the Migratory Birds Convention Act and Regulations.

Daily maintenance is conducted by public works staff throughout the beachfront, including grass and sand areas of the lake.  This maintenance  includes the collection of goose feces using a Goose Manure Sweeper which is designed to rake and sift the sand of fecal matter for disposal.

The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is developing a comprehensive Parks and Trails Master Plan to help guide efforts and investment in parks, trails, and recreation facilities over the next 15 years. The Parks and Trails Master Plan will be grounded in the community's needs and incorporate best practices and innovations, address current and future needs and challenges, and lay the groundwork for future initiatives.

This Parks and Trails Master Plan will encompass a vision, goals, and recommendations for parks, trails, recreation facilities, along with an implementation plan that includes short and long-term capital improvements, potential partnerships, and funding opportunities.
