This 60-acre property, located in the northwest corner of the Hobart Marsh complex, is characterized by an ecotone that ranges from wet-mesic prairie to swamp to marsh to open water. The prairie is fairly high quality with such species as Prairie Dock, Marsh Blazing Star, Tall Coreopsis, Yellow Coneflower, Golden Alexanders and Blue-Eyed Grass. Many Gentians and Twayblade Orchids occur here, as well as the state endangered Eared False Foxglove. Great Blue Herons, Green Herons, Great Egrets, and Wood Ducks are often seen in the wetlands.
