This area is 4,225 acres of primarily forest habitat. Nearly five miles of the unchannelized Chariton River runs through the area. This portion of the river is known locally as "The Narrows," because the river makes a 2.5 mile loop arond the center of the area. This meandering river channel has created several oxbow lakes and natural marshes along the river, providing unique fish and wildlife habitat. Rebel's Cove Conservation Area contains a heron rookery and is the site of past river otter and ruffed grouse releases. During your visit to Rebel's Cove, you will notice evidence of forest improvement practices, designed to improve tree growth, quality and species composition. This area was acquired partly through the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

This conservation area is in Adair County, four miles southwest of Kirksville. The Conservation Department acquired the original 72 acres of this area as a forest lookout tower site, but the tower was never built. Known then as "Kirksville Woods," this small area was combined with a 2,536 acre tract, purchased in 1974, to create Sugar Creek Conservation Area. This area is primarily forested, with a few open fields on ridges and along Sugar Creek. Both Sugar Creek and Elm Creek run through the area. Around 1900, thousands of acres of the region's forest, including this area, were cleared to meet the great demand for mine props and timbers for the coal mining industry in northeast Missouri. Subsequent tree sprouting here was once contained by grazing goats, and part of the area was known as the "goat ranch." Most of the area was then allowed to revert back to trees, which accounts for the large continuous stand of similar aged trees. Wildlife management practices include crop fields to serve as food sources for animals and harvesting timber, which provides wildlife forage and cover. White-tail deer and the eastern wild turkey are abundant on the area, as are numerous songbirds and a variety of mammals. Ruffed grouse, native to Missiouri, have been reintroduced on the area and a huntable population of these birds can be found here.
