This 55.65-acre preserve is owned and managed by Cedar Lakes Conservation Foundation (CLCF). It is located west of West Bend, near Big Cedar Lake. It is also the location of the CLCF headquarters. The preserve has two sections of restored prairie surrounded by trees with trail loops around each of them that can be used for hiking or snowshoeing. A local consulting firm worked with CLCF to plant the prairie with native species. Wildlife that frequent the property include nesting bluebirds, a resident crane family, woodchucks and plenty of deer to watch all seasons.
