Buzzard Ridge Wildlife Area
Three access points are provided: one off County Road E17 east of Canton and another
off county road 30th Ave; and the third off the south fork of the Maquoketa River.
The 273-acre area is located along the South Fork of the Maquoketa River. The unique
beauty of Northeast Iowa is very evident here with limestone rock outcroppings, upland
timber, flood plain, wildlife, and panoramic scenery. Wildlife food plots are planted
throughout the area to help wildlife survive harsh winters. Primitive camping is available by
the river with restroom facilities nearby. This area is a convenient stop for canoeists
traveling down the Maquoketa River.
Size: 273 acres
Services: camping, pit toilets, picnicking, stream fishing, boating, hunting
