NWA includes only the uplands areas to the water s edge, not the surrounding waters or marshes. Bald Island is surrounded by cattails, with bulrushes offshore on the east and north sides. Tree species include white elm, balsam poplar and a few shrubs. Fox Island is also surrounded by cattails, and is covered mainly with tall grasses, herbaceous plants and a few willow shrubs, but no trees. Dense aquatic vegetation is found around Bald and Fox Islands and along the upper end of Baldhead Peninsula.
Location makes it very important resting area for many birds during spring and fall migrations.
