There are 3 Bald Eagles that frequent the lake. We also have a Blue Heron who is often seen along the shore line. There are many varities of birds around the lake.
Ice fishing is also a favorite on Thompsons' Lake. There are a few fishing sheds put on the lake once the ice freezes and there are a couple of local tournaments.
