Early- to late-successional hardwood forests dominated by pin oak and sweetgum dominate the 200 acres found at Cedar Hill Swamp WMA. A few acres of overgrown fields are found near the entrance.  The only remaining swampland is on private property adjacent to the WMA on the opposite side of the CSX railroad tracks.

Early successional bird species such as Yellow-breasted Chat, Indigo Bunting, Blue Grosbeak, and Field Sparrow can be found near the entrance in summer. The forested sections of the WMA are home to the Kentucky Warbler, Summer Tanager, Red-eyed Vireo, Pileated Woodpecker, and Barred Owl. Loggerhead Shrikes winter on the farms around the swamp.
