Twin Springs Natural Area

Discover Twin Springs Natural Area in La Porte City

Twin Springs Natural Area is bordered south by the Cedar Valley Nature Trail and the Cedar River.  The site is home to a pair of meandering, shallow streams with a gravel bottom that empties into the Cedar River. 

Twin Springs Natural Area is a work in progress.  Once heavily grazed, land managers have started the processes of restoring the native vegetation and habitat that once thrived in the area.  Wildlife such as wild turkeys, pheasants, and coyotes abound along with a variety of bird species such as the great blue heron, bald eagle, kestrel, and bobolink use this linear, but long piece of property.  A small limestone outcropping overlooking the stream also makes for an unique land feature in this area.

Remember to follow all local and state fishing, hunting, and trapping regulations.
