During high water periods after a rain, Lee Creek can be floated in a canoe or kayak. The owner has built a total of nine ponds on the land, the largest being about 3 acres. Seven of them are stocked with bass, crappie and catfish. There are several freshwater springs on the land, some used to supply water to ponds.
WILDLIFE
In addition to the game fish in the ponds, there is smallmouth fishing in Lee Creek. The land also supports whitetail deer, wild turkey, and an occasional black bear.
