Fountain Grove Conservation Area sits in the floodplain of the Grand River and serves as an important migration stop for a variety of wildlife. It also plays an essential role in providing wintering habitat for Canada geese of the Eastern Prairie Population.
The area was the first wetland area developed by the Conservation Commission and has grown from its original 3,433 acres in the 1940s to its present size of 7,906 acres.
The area is managed to provide diverse wetland habitats, including marshes, bottomland forests, grain fields, oxbow lakes and sloughs.
An active heron rookery is located along Locust Creek. Bald eagles are commonly seen on the area throughout the winter. The area also supports populations of rail, snipe, wood ducks, mourning doves, white-tailed deer, turkey, raccoon, beaver, river otter and many bird species.
Blackhorn Drive south 0.75 mile to the area headquarters.
Its a nice size like but there really isnt much area to fish from the shore
Great hunting and fishing !! great staff.. we need more corn 🌽 for the 🦆
Really cool area for wildlife. Never seen so many ducks in my life. Saw literal clouds of ducks flying around. It is a public hunting area so take that into consideration. Some places are kept up, others are not. They stress cleaning up after yourself but some people still don't.
