Sand Creek has a nice diversity of habitat types, including aspen, northern hardwoods, oak, pine, old fields, forest openings, and lowland grass and brush, along with two high-quality trout streams running through the property.

The Sand Creek Fishery Area was created by state land purchases in 1952 to both protect high-quality trout habitat on Sand and Ore Creeks and to manage a habitat used by deer for winter yarding.
