The site is situated in the Red River Basin, which is part of the larger Mississippi River Basin. The water system includes the Dorcheat Bayou which feeds Lake Bistineau, as well as several creek systems, ponds, beaver dams and Swamp Cypress bayous.
Wildlife includes deer, turkey, cougar, beaver, mink, and a wide variety of birds.
Some 12,000 acres of the property are in mixed forest. Timber harvesting has provided significant revenues from the sales of millions of board feet for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
