This vast tract of wetland is a glimpse of what the prairie pothole region was all about. As such, the best way to explore this area is by canoe or kayak. To do so might reveal White-faced Ibis, or Trumpeter Swan, but will certainly take you smack in to the world of nesting rails, and Black Terns. During migration hawks, sparrows, and blackbirds are prevalent.
This 800-acre WPA shares its northwestern border with the Minnesota DNR’s Hiram C. Southwick Wildlife Management Area. Numerous wetlands, including several large wetlands, on the WPA provide excellent resting, nesting and feeding habitat for waterfowl.
