Turn east and take gravel road for one mile to park boundary. Park and walk 0.25 mile east to northwest corner of preserve. The preserve is within Brushy Creek State Recreation Area .
Brushy Creek includes upland woodland, savanna, and prairie communities.
Several geological features recording the end of the last glacial period are present. Archaeological sites have been found on the area. The area has been grazed by cattle, trees were cut in the woodland, and alien plant species had invaded the area. The native communities have survived and management and restoration work has begun. This process also created a series of stepped terraces and alluvial fans within the valley.
