Store Dyrehave comprises 1,230 hectares (3,000 acres) of forest, 18.8 hectares of lakes and ponds, 40.8 hectares of marshland, 21.6 hectares of plains and 9.8 hectares of meadows.
Deciduous trees dominate the periphery of the forest, with beech as the most common species, covering 414.8 hectares, while oak trees cover 132 hectares and other deciduous trees cover 120 hectares.
Mainly found in the central part of the forest, evergreens cover approximately 364 hectares of which Picea species account for 227 hectares.
The share of deciduous forest will gradually be increased.

Maltemosen, in the northern part of the forest, is a poor fen.
Typical flora include cotton-grass and wild calla as well as the  carnivorous sundew and greater bladderwort.
Rågårdsmosen and Sortedam on the southwest side of Kongevejeb close to Ny Hammersholt, are peat bogs.

Store Dyrehave is home to both roe deer and fallow deer, while red deer—which used to be the focus of attention during the royal hunts—are no longer found in the area.
