Hunting: With all the water and native woodlands, the ranch provides a fantastic habitat to all kinds of wildlife. There are white-tail deer, hogs, dove, ducks, and geese. This area is well-known for its duck and goose hunting in the winter months, and with the Lost River slough, the duck hunting on the ranch is excellent. Also, the Brazos River has great fishing for bass and catfish.
Water: For the recreational rancher, this property has incredible water on it. The ranch is bordered on the south by 1.5 miles of the Brazos River. While most of the river frontage is on the high bank, there is a stretch of the ranch with a low bank, allowing for great fishing. An ancient oxbow, known as the Lost River is on the ranch, and spans about 20 acres total. It is essentially a horseshoe shaped lake that is loaded with ducks in the winter. There are also 2 other small tanks, and 1 water well with an electric submersible pump.
Gravel: In 2007, the owner had a geologic assessment of sand and gravel resources completed to determine the value of commercial gravel mining on the ranch.
