The landscape of the park is hilly, with many cedar, live oak, prickly pear cacti, and yuccas. The ground is rocky, mainly consisting of gneiss rock. Devil's Waterhole is a small extension of Inks Lake, which is almost completely surrounded by rock.

There is abundant wildlife at the park, including deer, vultures, quail, and many other types of birds.
