This heavily forested reserve contains magnificent stands of eucalypt trees, with patches of lush subtropical gully rainforests. The reserve provides habitat for the squirrel glider, yellow-bellied glider, masked owl, Stephens banded snake and other threatened fauna.
The Tops-to-Myalls heritage walking trail passes through the reserve. Numerous management trails provide varied bushwalking experiences, with the trails generally classified medium to hard grade. Car-based camping is available at Wards Glen, in the west of the reserve, accessible by 2WD when dry.
