The Patrick Marsh Natural Resource Site encompasses 785 acres; only a portion of it has permanent protection. The Site includes a 225-acre Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Area which provides important habitat for more than 100 species of birds. The Site is used by the Patrick Marsh Middle School as an outdoor classroom, and by outdoor enthusiasts who bird, picnic, and hike in the area. The site also includes a former hunting ground of the Ho-Chunk Nation.
The marsh is the first wetland mitigation bank site in Wisconsin, which was created as a result of the expansion of U.S. Highway 151 to four lanes.
It also happens to be one of my personal favorite places to shoot sunrises, for obvious reasons.
