Edna Pelz Wildlife

Discover Edna Pelz Wildlife in Charles City

Edna Pelz Wildlife Area is a small, peaceful refuge where hunting is not permitted. A seasonal creek winds through the property, creating valuable habitat for wildlife and occasionally flooding portions of the area.

Visitors can enjoy wildlife viewing, mushroom hunting, and seasonal nature exploration. The refuge is especially beautiful in spring, when bluebells and other woodland wildflowers bloom, while fall brings asters, colorful foliage, and quiet walks through fallen leaves.
