Duck Egg

Duck Egg is open to public fishing and hunting per State of Wisconsin fishing and hunting regulations and seasons. Duck Egg is fantastic for hiking and horseback riding, with more than 10 miles of signed and maintained multi-use trail. Hiking is allowed on the horseback riding trail, however, mountain biking is not allowed per the Vernon County Parks Ordinance. ATV’s, dirt bikes and other motorized vehicles are not allowed on the Duck Egg property under any circumstances.
The primary land use at Duck Egg is woodland. The forest is managed for long-term timber management by the Vernon County Forest Administrator. There are also a few areas being managed for native prairie establishment and maintenance, including a 25 acre area on the ridge and two areas in the valley bottom. The Springville Branch of the Bad Axe River is a great trout stream. The length of river (about 1.5 miles) downstream of the dam has been improved for trout habitat by the Wisconsin DNR fisheries crew. Upstream of the dam is not improved, but still provides for some excellent trout fishing opportunities. Be sure to explore Duck Egg – it is a true gem in Vernon County.
