There are 2,046 acre natural wetland which is primarily an emergent marsh whose water level is dependent on the many beaver dams on the Fish Creek drainage and 2,392 acres of upland most of which is forested. The emergent marsh is mainly cattail with flooded shrubs interspersed throughout the area. There is a hardwood swamp along the fringe of the emergent marsh. The upland portion contains approximately 1000 acres of softwood scattered throughout the area which deer use as wintering areas and 861 acres of young northern hardwoods that are being managed using commercial forest sales. There are 93 acres of open grassland maintained for ground nesting birds.
