Western Burnett County’s 30,000-acre Crex Meadows Wildlife Area not only serves roughly 100,000 visitors a year, the popular marshland comes alive every spring with all forms of flora and fauna that draw those visitors.
Spring and summer are special times at Crex Meadows as waterfowl from trumpeter swans and Canada geese to mallards, blue-winged teal and gadwalls nest and raise young. There are also sharp-tailed grouse, sandhill cranes, turkeys, and bald eagles. On the furrier side, there are bobcats, beavers, red fox, bears, wolves and deer.
