Howard Prairie

This property is located near the shore of Howard Prairie Reservoir, a popular boating and fishing recreation area.  The land is a mix of forest lands and wetlands located a short distance from the Howard Prairie Resort.

The forest includes many larger conifer trees.  There is also a stand of aspen trees that have been fenced off to protect them from livestock grazing.  This historic property, which was purchased in 1937, has been in the same family for more than 70 years and has been meticulously managed to promote good forest health.

Conserving these 162 acres means that this land near the lake shore (and the lakeside hiking trail) is protected from clearcutting and development.  More than a mile of the popular Hyatt Prairie Road is also protected, ensuring that cyclists, bikers, and drivers will continue to enjoy this scenic stretch of road far into the future.
