The area attracts a variety of rare and unusual birds including bald eagle, osprey, great blue heron, green heron and a diversity of ducks and geese. Forest cover includes silver maple and black willow. This preserve honors Robert J. Paul whose wife, Mimi Paul, made a partial gift of this property to the division in 1978.
