The gem of this Tug Hill property are the beaver ponds and stream which is a tributary to the trout stocked, Point Rock Creek. Wildlife sign is abundant, with whitetail deer being the most prevalent big game animal, evidence being a snorting buck annoyed by my presence near one of the beaver dams. A ruffed grouse flushed from a thick evergreen thicket during my visit. Woodcock, turkey and snowshoe rabbit are other game species one might expect to encounter in this area.
