Richardson Wildlife Area - Muscatine County Park

77 Acres of hilly upland, some of which is still farmed. There are a lot of big older trees growing alongside a creek that feeds into the Cedar River and hills that look out across ravines carved away by hundreds of years of drainage. Not much in the way of trails but the undergrowth here seems manageable compared to other parks.

Here is a link to a PDF map of the property.
