Follow Wesley East Road to the bottom of the hill. Straight ahead there is a gated road, leading to a seasonal pond on the left, strip mowed fields, and trees bordering Fishing Creek. The ponds in this area are closed October 15–March 15 each year.

This section of the Wildlife Management Area consists of shoreline surrounding Fishing Creek. A number of birding sites on the shores of Lake Cumberland are collectively known as the Lake Cumberland Wildlife Management Area, owned by the Corps of Engineers but managed by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.  It is composed of bottomland that is flooded during heavy rains. It contains woodland, strip mowed fields, corn and soybean fields, and ponds.
