Dean Creek is a mosaic of pasture, woodland, and wetland providing a variety of viewing experiences.
A herd of 60 to 100 Roosevelt elk are year round residents. Numerous birds can be seen in the area and waterfowl are visible in the wetlands. The viewing area stretches along a three mile stretch of Highway 38, with two viewing areas and several pullouts to view wildlife. An educational kiosk and numerous interpretive panels provide for an educational experience. BLM is working with its partners to improve conditions.
