Eddyville Dunes Sand Prairie

On the outskirts of Eddyville lies one of the most unique sand prairie remnants in the Midwest. An ecosystem that has disappeared from Iowa except for a few small areas around the state. On a hike over the dunes you can often find rare plants and animals such as prickly pear cactus, pale green orchid, 6-lined racerunner lizards and ornate box turtles. The 55 acres of dry prairie communities are dotted with several open water wetlands and wet meadows.
