Haskell Natural Area - June 14 2021

Haskell - #141 is the Alberta Discovery Guide and 43.4 km from Red Deer. Follow Highway 42 until Highway 21 where you head north until Township Road 370 head North again on Range Road 232 and the area will be on the left-hand side (west) of the road with a green Ducks Unlimited Sign. Park in the ditch and do not block any gates

This natural area offers beautiful shrublands, wetlands and mature aspen stands. Wildlife that inhabit this area include mule deer, white-tailed deer, porcupine, coyote, muskrats, forest birds and wetland birds. 

There are not to many trails that wander though. Existing trails were made by cattle or game animals. 

Regardless this area is off the beaten trail and is worth exploring! There are numerous species of wildflowers that are in bloom and there are some yellow ladys slipper in the natural area.

The partner than manages this area is Ducks Unlimited Canada. 

Be aware of wildlife in the area, tripping hazards, fences and changing weather conditions. 

Happy exploring!
