Discover Rossow Prairie in Vincent

At one time Webster County, and all of north-central Iowa, was covered by literally thousands of marshes, fens, and other wetland environments. Rossow Prairie is a relict from this age and its 40 acres of upland prairie and slough is a haven for a variety of wildlife.  The area is an outstanding outdoor classroom facility. A trip to Rossow can provide an exciting escape and a chance to view some of nature’s most interesting critters. Muskrats, mink, ducks, geese, shore birds, songbirds, turtles, fish, salamanders and many invertebrates are well suited to life in the wetland.
