Paw Paw Marsh
This is a flooded stand of bottomland trees along an oxbow of the Lost River and there's a high probability of seeing Beaver and Muskrat. Beaver are mostly nocturnal, however you may catch a glimpse of them when they emerge from their lodges before sundown.
Egrets and Heron are often seen, as well as Whitetail Deer, and winter songbirds frequent the area of pine and shrubby fields between the marsh and the parking lot. Paw Paw Marsh is located off on Anderson Road off state road 56. The size of this area is 5 acres and this is the Brownstown, Indiana district.
Maines Pond
This is a small pond that is surrounded by open grasslands, thickets of brush and cedar, and patches of small trees. A buried pipeline runs behind the pond and the pipeline corridor is kept mowed which attracts small mammals and songbirds.
Prairie grasses and wildflowers are abundant during spring and summer. There is a high probability of viewing quail, sparrows, bluebirds, meadowlarks, and other birds in this area. This area is off state road 135 towards Nashville Indiana and this is the Brownstown, Indiana district.
