Barkhausen Waterfowl Preserve and
Fort Howard Paper Foundation Wildlife Area

This beautiful, 925-acre county park combines two properties with ponds, marsh, field, forest, nine miles of walking trails, and a waterfowl drive. The Barkhausen Waterfowl Preserve features a visitor’s center with naturalist programs, a native plant nursery, and a waterfowl management demonstration area. The Fort Howard tract is a great place to see warblers, flycatchers and other forest species. The lowland forest areas are places where Wood Ducks, Northern Waterthrush, Barred Owl and Pileated Woodpeckers nest. More than 200 species of birds have been recorded here, many during spring and fall migrations.
