About This Area
Flag Spring Conservation Area is in Barry and McDonald counties,
west of Washburn. The Conservation Department acquired the land for
this 3,946-acre area between 1983 and 1992. The area is primarily
forested, with oak, hickory, eastern red cedar, and other species
native to the region common. Flag Spring, located on the west side
of the property, flows year-round. Deer and squirrels are
relatively abundant. Wild turkeys have been stocked on the area and
are now present in good numbers.
