The old homestead site in the bottom of the canyon has a water well and spring development for livestock water. South Redwater Creek, which is intermittent, runs through the canyon.

The combination of the hay meadows, pockets with natural water, and abundant brush cover invite a variety of wildlife to the area. Whitetail deer, wild turkeys and antelope are frequently seen on the ranch. Even the elusive Rocky Mountain elk travels through the area. There is a possibility of obtaining a landowner elk license. Interested parties are encouraged to consult with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department if they have questions about the requirements to qualify for a landowner elk tag.

Hunting on the property has been limited in recent years.
