Bypass Basin Refuge

South Pond

Discover Bypass Basin Refuge in New Hampton

This is a 113 acre area acquired from the Iowa DOT. It is ground set aside when the Highway 63 bypass project was completed and is an excellent upland/wetland complex.

Chickasaw County has signed an easement with the City of New Hampton to use Klenske Avenue to provide public access into the area from the south.  The access starts on the north end of the Kwik Star lot, and goes along the power poles on the west side of the field. 

Fishing is allowed. Bass and bluegill have been caught on the north pond.
