North Branch River Park extends along almost 3 quarters of a mile of river, with important wetlands and a rich diversity of wildlife. The park includes the following features:

• A older stand of hemlocks that provide shelter for deer in the winter
• Classic riparian buffer
• Mixed stands
• Nationally registered wetlands
• Relatively young stands of hardwoods and softwoods
• River shore
• River

Additionally there are some unusual geological features including some sharp ridges, several small intermittent and year round streams. The wetlands are at the bottom of a long hillside and built up into a series of ponds by industrious beavers.
