seasonal lake within the park attracts an abundance of waterfowl including roseate spoonbills, wood storks, anhingas and the seriously endangered jabiru stork. Many endangered mammals such as pumas, tapirs and caymans, and reptiles also inhabit the area. Other animals include sloths, river otters, white-tailed deer and three species of monkeys. The river and channels are full of Caribbean snook, bull sharks and the gar fish, which is considered a living fossil.
The area surrounding Arenal and La Fortuna offers horseback riding, hiking, camping, swimming and lake activities. Many lodges, cabins, hotels and restaurants now support tourism in this northern zone
