Bowstring Wildlife Area
This 87-acre woodland area features wooded hillsides that
open into several fingers of restored prairies offering a view over the
floodplain bottom bordering Lytle Creek. The name ‘Bowstring’ comes from the
unique form of bridge leading to only this property as the road stops. This
bridge was built in 1878 and is one of three bowstring structures in the state
of Iowa that is still standing at its original site. The area is open to
hunting with an abundance of wildlife species and maintained food plots
throughout the site. Hiking trails trace though the hillsides and up the
prairies as well. This area is located on the Southern End of Dubuque County
off Creek Branch Lane near Zwingle Iowa.
