The recreation area was created in 1981 and consists of 1,380 acres of wetland, creeks, forest, prairies, cropland, and meadows. There are 21 miles of maintained hiking trails, an interpretive center, and a monument to Julien Duquque.
E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center is in a completely different area and can be accessed by hiking or by driving west to US 61, south on US 61, and east on US 52. The interpretive center was closed by the time we got there but we did walk/roll along the John and Alice Butler Trail. The one mile out and back trail is paved and accessible but hilly so wheelchair users may need assistance.
The parking lots at the monument and the interpretive center are
large enough for RVs. Most of the other lots are too small. Monument 42.46866, -90.64842 Center 42.45906, -90.66445
