Maskunky Marsh


Overview

This is a great place to bird watch! 

Location

This 92-acre area located 5 miles east of Oskaloosa, on Highway 92 at 2395 Snyder Ave., Oskaloosa, Iowa.  There is a second parking area on the south side of Maskuny Marsh on 248th Street off of Snyder Ave.  

Features

It lies in the flight path of numerous migratory waterfowl and provides them with high quality habitat.  This area is a great place to "waterfowl watch" in the spring and fall when the migration is occurring.  During the migration the marsh may hold hundreds to thousands of migrating birds that choose this area for a resting place.  A bird viewing blind was constructed near the south end and it overlooks the marsh.
