Prairie Gold Wildlife Area

Discover Prairie Gold Wildlife Area in Emmetsburg

Prairie Gold Wildlife Area was funded by the local Pheasants Forever Chapter and funds received from the Habitat Stamp Program. This large 231-acre area has many ecosystems such as prairie, wetlands, and a river oxbow which allow waterfowl, pheasants, turkey, deer, furbearers, and non-game species to thrive.  In addition to providing good wildlife habitat, this area will retain water in the wetlands, assisting with flood control by slowing runoff, improving water quality, and reducing soil erosion.
