Gordon WMA is bisected by Jobs Creek Road in Sunapee. East of the road, the property is steeply sloped to the banks of Lake Sunapee, preserving roughly 1,500 feet of an otherwise developed lakeshore. West of the road, the topography slopes more gently away from the lake. The west side of the property is primarily hemlock while the east side bears more hardwoods and an unusual amount of yew in the understory.
