Woodlands are of the eastern hardwood type.
Tree cover is limited to narrow strips adjacent to stream channels and draws, and on steep slopes that border the lake. Predominant trees are oak, hickory, cottonwood, sycamore, elm, hackberry, ash, and black walnut. Typical shrubs include dogwood, coralberry, sumac, plum and leadplant. Typical woodland wildlife includes owls, turkeys, woodpeckers, squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and deer. Streams support such animals as muskrats, beaver, and amphibians.
