Discover Johnson/Noel Buckeye Wildlife Area in Ottumwa

This area is an excellent oak/hickory timber at one time boasting the state record swamp white oak. Some of the area is located in the Cedar Creek floodplain and during high water can flood some of the lower lying areas. This area is composed of good deer and turkey habitat and a great place to take a leisurely hike. The Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation assisted in the purchase of this property.
