Washington County Conservation Education Center
Overview
Located in Marr Park which features diverse habitats, from woodlands to prairie to ponds. Scenic trails weave through and around these features, including a handicapped accessible trail around the mini-lake. Animals such as deer, pheasant, squirrels, and a host of birds utilize Marr Park’s excellent mixture of native grasses, pine and hardwood groves, crops, and water (ponds and wetlands). Quiet visitors find this refuge an outstanding wildlife observation area. Fishing is especially popular in the park’s two man-made ponds. Both the smaller 1.2-acre north pond and the 5.7-acre south mini-lake provide opportunity to catch bluegill, largemouth bass, and channel catfish.
