An almost endless system of drivable levees allows vehicle access to most areas of the preserve and many of the waterfowl blind and fishing locations.

Fifteen permanent blind locations are located strategically though out the preserve providing blind locations for all phases of the waterfowl season. Freshwater controls allow for irrigated fields with pit blinds on the northern half of the preserve; stilt and island boat blinds are located within the southern half, in the private marsh, with hard bottomed, wadable soil. Limits are typical on hunts at Commissary Point; the primary species include: mallards, teal, pintails, wigeon, gadwall, speckle belly geese and snow geese.
