The last 15 miles (24 km) of the gulch are on a smooth, but curvy gravel road, adding a bit of time to get there.

At the end of the Leslie Gulch road at Owyhee Lake there is a boat launching ramp.

Nearby is the 10-unit Slocum Creek - Leslie Gulch Campground, operated by the BLM, which is open from March through November.

Other rare plants found here are grimy ivesia, sterile milkvetch, and Owyhee clover.

Mule deer, coyotes, bobcats, Rocky Mountain elk, and rattlesnakes are also resident in the gulch.
