A beautiful cascade and impressive Silurian dolomite and limestone cliffs occur along this valley of Greenville Creek, which is part of the Stillwater State Scenic River system. This scenic river preserve includes a locally-significant maple-cottonwood-sycamore floodplain forest.

Among the rare species of plants growing on and adjacent to the cliffs are rock sandwort, harebell, tufted hairgrass, limestone savory and wand-lily. Prairie plants, such as gray-headed coneflower, butterflyweed and nodding wild onion, occur here as well.
