Roads to parking lot 1 and connecting lots 1 and 2 are impassable when wet. Note dove hunting season. Areas between lots 5 and 6 and between 12 and 13 are planted to attract doves. Trails have no short loops.

From Carrollton, go north about 10 miles on US 65, then 7 miles west and north on Rt. Z. There are three area access options. Turn onto CR 130 to enter the area from the southern side; continue on Rt. Z to CR 120 to enter on the east side; continue to CR 110 to reach isolated parking lot 13 near the northeast corner.

Cooler months are best. The area has about 1,300 acres in old fields and pastures, 1,400 acres in timber, and 575 in crop fields. A thousand acres are being managed in a restoration project for praire/savanna/forest. Upland species, grassland, scrub and forest nesters can be expected.

13 numbered parking lots correspond to numbers on the area map, a useful feature. The lots are numbered roughly west to east. One large pond is viewable from lot 12, off CR 120. Multi-use trails (4.5 miles) connect lots 7, 9, and 10.
