Description: 2200-foot elevation. 1600 acres of wetlands were originally used to replace goose nesting islands on the Snake River flooded by Brownlee Dam. This area is totally within the Boise and Snake River floodplain; a myriad of small islands are used by nesting birds, and mild winters encourage year-round habitation. Canada geese, mallards, gadwalls, and cinnamon teal nest on the islands, and wood ducks, screech owls, and northern flickers take advantage of the other nesting boxes. Crops are grown to provide a food supply, and turkeys, pheasant, and quail inhabit uncut alfalfa fields. Raptors nest in the tall trees by the river. Mule deer inhabit the cover, and small game is prolific. Fishing for channel catfish and smallmouth bass. A monument and sign mark the approximate location of a historic fur-trading post originally built in 1814 and abandoned in 1855.
