About this Location

Sugar Creek Audubon Nature Sanctuary is a 49-acre preserve
five miles west of Grinnell just off U.S. Highway 6. It is
owned and managed by the Tallgrass Prairie Audubon Society,
the local chapter of the National Audubon Society.

To get to the sanctuary from the east, go west out of Grinnell
on Highway 6 about five miles, continuing past the junction
of Highway T-38 (on the right) and up the hill as Highway
6 angles southwest. Near the top of the hill, a highway sign
indicates a side road to the left. It is North 28th Avenue East
and it is marked with a “Dead End” sign. Turn down this road.
To get to this road from the west, go east on Highway 6 past
Oakland Acres about a mile and a half. On the right is a farm
fence with white wooden posts.
