The lake, with its sparkling blue waters, occupies a significant portion of the area. It provides a habitat for various species of fish such as perch, pike, and trout.

Lastly, the freshwater marsh is an essential component of Earning Stream's ecosystem. This marshland features tall grasses, sedges, and reeds, providing shelter and nesting sites for numerous bird species. It also serves as a natural filtration system, improving water quality and supporting a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
