INTERSTATE POWER FOREST PRESERVE

IPC Forest Preserve is a 78 acre parcel which was donated to the Dubuque County Conservation Board in February of 1988 by the Interstate Power Company, who maintains a substation on the site. The area contains approximately 8 acres of restored prairie, 15 acres of gently rolling grassland, and the rest is made up of a heavily forested woodland dissected by deep ravines containing spring-fed streams.  A small lot at the site provides parking for the hikers.
