Mink Brook is an important watercourse and wetland corridor for mink, otter, muskrat, beaver, black bear, and many other critters. Also living at the Preserve are white-tail deer, foxes, coyote, weasels, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, and other small rodents.
The brook is home to several species of fish, and is a popular spot for watching the spring White Sucker spawning run in late April. Other species include Brook Trout, Creek Chub, Black-nosed and Long-nosed Dace, and Common Shiner.
