Topography: Kickapoo Timbers is 100% floodplain and consists of bottomland/wetland areas.
Trees, Grass & Forbs: Kickapoo has an abundance of oak trees covering much of the landscape. Many of these are acorn-producing and provide forage for wildlife. Native grasses and shrubs are located throughout.
Fencing: The property has 2 gated entrances along paved County Road 3514. Both entrance gates are constructed of galvanized steel pipe fencing and provide secure access points. One of the entrances is decorative with an overhead nameplate. The property is fenced along the county road frontage with 5-strand barbed wire fencing. All gates and fencing are in excellent condition.
Water:
Kickapoo Creek Frontage: Kickapoo Creek traverses the ranch from west to east through the relatively flat bottomland that is covered in hardwood timber. The creek provides scenic value, riparian diversity, and opportunities for managing shallow-water habitat in low-lying cells. While there are no managed wetlands on the property today, it is believed that those opportunities exist for future development. The area is a prime location for waterfowl, ready for the next owner to make this a multifaceted recreational ranch.
