Eagle Eye State Natural Area
Eagle Eye State Natural Area is a 70-acre tract of land within the Cade Archaeological District. This land was protected through a partnership between Mississippi Valley Conservancy, Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center, The Archaeological Conservancy, and the State of Wisconsin’s Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.
The site includes scenic ridgetop bluffland, including native goat prairie, oak opening, sandstone cliffs and rock shelters, forest, wetlands, and a portion of the Bad Axe River. This area is a popular trout fishing location only ¼ mile west of Duck Egg County Park. The land is now open to the public for hiking, hunting, fishing, snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing.
