Gladys Leui Preserve

27371 670th Avenue, Maxwell IA 50161

The Gladys Leui Preserve, a wildlife refuge, is mostly mature hardwood forest bisected by a small stream. Upland oak-hickory, maple-basswood, and floodplain forest species are present. The area also offers a six-acre reconstructed prairie. Hiking, walking, bird watching, geocaching, and several other activities are possible however we do not maintain trails nor do we have picnic tables or grills available.

History

The property was gifted to the county in 2005 with the stipulation that it remain a wildlife refuge with no trails, structures, or other improvements.
