This refuge is a part of the Bowdoin Wetland Management District (WMD), and is unstaffed. The refuge consists of 1,680 acres (6.8 km²) of which only half is federally owned, while the rest is an easement with local landowners. The refuge is managed from Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge. Set aside as a protected area for migratory birds and other wildlife, the refuge consists of a small and shallow lake which is dry on occasion. The alkaline waters of the lake support little vegetation cover except near an earthen dam.
