This 315-acre site contains representatives of all of the Oregon white oak communities now found in the White Salmon River drainage. These communities, which are quickly disappearing from Washington, provide an important glimpse of the region's pre-settlement landscape. Much of this landscape can be seen from the historic Weldon Wagon Trail which traverses the site. The trail provides exceptional opportunities for hiking and horseback riding. From the trail, visitors can view the array of wildlife that occupy the site. It is an important wildlife habitat area, including winter range for black-tailed deer, year-round use by wild turkey, and summer breeding habitat for a diverse and abundant community of small mammals, birds and reptiles.
