• Transitional and winter range for mule deer
• Winter range and calving habitat for elk
• Scenic views for members of the public from Highway 91
• Property contains wetlands and riparian habitat within the Bear River watershed vital to the protection of wildlife populations, nutrient cycling, water quality, erosion control, and groundwater discharge

The preserve is open to non-motorized public access year-round. Popular recreational activities include hiking, horseback riding and hunting.

Please note that there is not an established trail system on the preserve. Hiking is off trail and over difficult terrain.
