The property contains a fairly significant network of roadbeds, paths, a trail that leads to the top of Worth Mountain, and accessibility to the Broad River.

York County has entered into a lease agreement with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) to manage the property and to provide recreational opportunities associated with hunting and fishing. York County maintains the road and boat ramp; however, SCDNR maintains the remainder of the property.
