There is an extensive emergent wetland through which the channel of the Bashakill River meanders and which is crossed by a causeway and bridge. Some boardwalks as well as limestone caves exist in the area as well.
Area also contains one of the largest bat hibernaculums in the state, with six species of bat.
Characteristic wetland-dependent species like Great Blue Herons, Virginia Rails, Soras, and Common Moorhens breed here. In the past, permission has been granted to train hunting dogs in area during bird breeding season. Sullivan County Audubon hosts regular educational fieldtrips to area and helps in cleanup of waste. Inventory and monitoring, especially of waterfowl and state-listed species, should continue. Estimated numbers of individuals are included when available.
