Schell-Osage Conservation Area

The area features a unique combination of habitats including bottomland and upland forest, cropland, remnant native prairie, restored grasslands and more than 900 acres of lakes and ponds. There is a boat ramp and primitive campground on each lake.

The nearly 1,800 acres of seasonally flooded wetlands provide habitat for a wide variety of waterfowl, shore birds, wading birds, and other wetland dependent species, which makes this area popular for both waterfowl hunters and birders.
