About this Location

Important Bird Area.
On a ridge above the South River, this oak/hickory timber has cultural significance as it protects some mounds of the Woodland Indians. Many trails wander through the area and there is a nice picnic area at the parking lot.

In eastern Warren Co. 3.5 miles east along Hwy. 92 from U.S. 65/69, take S-23, the road to Milo, two winding miles to Keokuk St. on the east. Proceed 1.5 miles east on Keokuk. After crossing the river watch for Kirkwood, a rock road, on your left. Turn here and take it 2+ miles to the preserve entrance. Note that the Google map is incorrect!

Primary oak/hickory timber with occasional southern species like Summer Tanager, Pileated Woodpecker, and Cooper's Hawk found. This is a good area to find Winter Wren in season.
This is a public hunting area.
