The lake provides ample opportunities for fishing and recreation...good depth and consistent water levels would allow for additional management potential for improving the fishery for the discerning fisherman. Waterfowl frequent both the lake and Jim Bayou during the winter months.

For the landowner wanting to run their own cattle, there are rolling pastures of stout native grasses and cross fencing or the opportunity to lease the grazing out to a local rancher.

Historically the ranch has generated additional income selling water to oil companies utilizing water from the lake...a system of pumps and piping allow the lake to be maintained by pumping addiitonal water out of Jim Bayou.

Deposits of iron ore are readily utilized to maintain interior roads to allow access throughout the ranch.

The farm house is in good condiiton and provides a comfortable respit in between hunts or for family gatherings. The shop is oversized with concrete flooring and large overhangs on three sides for additional storage. Also, there's a walk in cooler for hanging the day's deer or hog harvest while in camp. A second smaller shop sits close to the lake.
