About 100 acres of bottomland are located adjacent to the creek, mostly on the north side of the stream. Some open land is incorporated into a tenant program to improve wildlife habitat and insure abundant, good quality grain foods for game species and other wildlife. The timbered areas are a high quality, mature oak-hickory type. Available game species include squirrel, deer, dove, woodcock, quail, furbearers, rabbit, and common snipe. Check at the Area Headquarters with the local Conservation Police Officer for seasons, bag limits, etc.
Fishing is permitted with pole and line only.
Trot lines, throw lines, limb lines, and jugs will not be permitted. The ponds have largemouth bass, bluegill, redear, and channel catfish. A picnic area is available on a first-come basis. The area has a shelter, picnic tables and campstoves. Approximately 75 acres on the northeast side have been declared a natural area by the Natural Areas Section of the Department of Natural Resources.
