Four turkeys cautiously left the safety of the timber’s cover to wander into a small alfalfa field to hunt for insects at the aptly named Turkey River Wildlife Area.

The 410-acre public area in southeast Howard County sits on a landscape transition from the glaciated northcentral Iowa to the Driftlesss northeast Iowa. With rock outcroppings and steep valleys, this oddly shaped public area is 1-1/2 mile south of Cresco and open for year-round recreation.

Visitors can go hiking, paddling, fishing, pick berries, hunt mushrooms in the spring and fall, hunt turkeys in the spring and fall, go snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on ungroomed trails and hunt deer, squirrels, and, in the prairie by the ag fields, pheasants.
