Situated high atop a limestone ridge, overlooking the Little Maquoketa River just north of Dubuque on Highway 52 & 3, this 41 acre preserve features 32 ancient burial mounds. The preserve also harbors a mature forest containing numerous wildflowers and a small remnant of native blufftop prairie. A trail up the 200-foot steep bluff continues at the top to circle around the Indian Mounds that are protected by fencing. The mounds range from 13 to 42 feet across and 6.5 to 50 feet high. The area is open to the public sunrise to sunset year round.
