The preserve is south of the road. The pond is a still body of shallow water brimming with a wide array of wetland plants. West sand prairie lies on an adjacent low, flat area and is dominated by blue joint grass. On the other side of the pond, a low hill supports dry-mesic sand prairie with such plants as little bluestem, panic grass, hairy puccoon, goat's rue, and sand milkweed. The site is east of Hwy.
