Visitors are welcome at the Center. Restoration of depleted and eroded lands has re-established a wildlife habitat that supports a wide variety of species. The Kiowa National Grassland includes part of the Canadian River canyon west of Mills, New Mexico. It provides some warm water fishing and it the only fishery resource on the two National Grasslands. Scaled quail are found throughout the area.
Pheasants are less numerous, but are hunted.
There are few trees and little brush cover for deer, so few live there. A few prairie dog towns remain. The land is flat to rolling, with good cover of short and mid-grasses. Antelope are common and hunting is permitted in New Mexico. Camp and picnic facilities have been developed at Thompson Grove, about 14 miles northeast of Texline on the Rita Blanca National Grassland and in Mills Canyon, about 10 miles southwest of Mills on the Kiowa National Grassland.
