Cache Creek Wildlife Area and the BLM Cache Creek Natural Area are "non-motorized access only".

The majority of the 2,330 acre wildlife area is fairly steep. Typical interior coast range chaparral species and oak-gray pine stands are found on the property. Associated with chamise stands are interior live oak, scrub oak, deer brush, toyon, birchleaf mahogany, yerba santa, gray pine, and others.

Common game species include black-tailed deer, tule elk, wild pig, wild turkey, valley quail, rabbit, gray squirrel, dove, pigeon, and bear. Possession in the field and use of firearms and archery equipment is permitted only for the purpose of hunting on Cache Creek Wildlife Area and associated management units.
