Recreation
Camping is an obvious activity and there are a few trails nearby for hiking. I could certainly spend some time in this area with my camera. And, I heard the fishing can be very good if you put in some effort to get isolated areas.
Wildlife
Rattlesnakes can be found here in the lower elevations so be careful. Deer are common as are other small woodland animals and birds.
