This site includes the crest and slope of a southfacing bluff overlooking the Stillwater State Scenic River. Frequent disturbances due to slumping of the slope, have maintained a tallgrass prairie community.

Typical prairie species growing here include big bluestem, little bluestem, nodding wild onion, partridge pea, flowering spruge, butterflyweed, hoary puccoon, wild bergamot and gray-headed coneflower.
