This reserve has been established primarily to boost the already existing tourist attraction of the the Wase Rock. This rock is the most significant single geographical feature in Wase Local Government Council Area. It is a remarkable hill rising abruptly 250 meters above the surface as if a tall chunk of rock had been driven perpendicularly into the alluvial plane. Geographers describe it as a volcanic plug. It overshadows the town of Wase, and is visible for a radius of 40 kilometers. Because of its shear height it poses an daunting challenge to mounting climbers, and its top which is said to contain a lake with fish, has rarely been scaled.
