The Wilson Creek area provides habitat for a variety of wildlife species such as deer, black bear, turkey, ruffed grouse, squirrel, and rabbit. Late-spring and summer birds include the wood thrush, catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), chestnut-sided warbler (Dendroica pensylvanica) ovenbird, and near Wilson Creek the least flycatcher (Empidonax minimus) and warbling vireo (Vireo gilvus). Wilson Creek is also known as a good site for watching the autumn hawk migrations.
There are no threatened or endangered wildlife species (including fish and other aquatic species) that have been identified in the Wilson Creek corridor.
