Game birds are hunted in the area. The actual exclosure (fencing) around the spring complex was erected by BLM and IDFG personnel in 1996. The fencing partially encloses the 200 acre site. This spring complex has water emanating from one main and several accessory springheads. Several channels converge and empty into the drainages main channel. This main channel is subject to periodic flash flood events. The small spring channels are lined with water birch, although there may be gaps in this shrubs continuity. There are mesic graminoid meadows at or below a couple of the springheads. A white to gray to tannish crust or marly ooze in places is evidence of a calcareous substrate. Algae (several colors) occur in the water flowing below the main spring. The exclosure around the spring (about 100 acres in size) was constructed in 1996. The wetland community types are local in extent near the springheads or channels. The Juncus balticus stands/patches along the channels may be too local to be considered distinct community types. There are also Potentilla fruticosa/Mesic graminoid patches, but not large enough to qualify as an element occurrence.
