The dunes extend up to 3 km inland and form a habitat for the spinifex hopping mouse. The conservation park has no visitor facilities, although bush camping is permitted.
The Dinosaur Ant, noted as a "living fossil", is found within the conservation park. The lake is the largest of several salt lakes in the area - others include Red Lake and Blue Lake, a smaller lake to the south of Lake MacDonnell.
