This site features a boat ramp from which visitors can launch canoes or kayaks. Secondary growth bottomland forest surrounds the creek and parking area. The forest is home to breeding woodland and bottomland inhabitants, such as, the prothonotary warbler and the wood thrush. Butterflies and odonates can be spotted near the creek. Visitors can expect good bird diversity here during spring and fall migration.
