Lower Wisconsin River State Wildlife Area
In the southwestern corner of the state,
the Wisconsin River forms the boundary
between Grant and Iowa counties on
the south and Crawford and Richland
counties to the north. The Lower
Wisconsin River State Wildlife Area
flanks that part of the river in several
distinct units. Marsh habitat, river bottom,
agricultural fields, and bluffs host
an astounding number of bird species
from owls to Ruffed Grouse. There are
numerous sites clearly identified for
public access along Highway 18 in the
Bridgeport/Wisconsin River Bottoms
area, and east along Cty. C to Bergum
Bottoms and Woodman. Continue
exploring along Hwy. 133 east to
Boscobel and Muscoda.
