Duck Farm is named for the well-known duck farm that once operated on this property. While there are no trails here, the preserve features scenic wetlands, and one of our popular off-leash Dog Parks. An annual or daily permit and a dog are required for entry.
In 1911, the Weber family started a duck farm at this site. At the height of its operation, more than 50,000 ducks resided on the farm. We acquired the property in 1989.
Duck Farm offers scenic countryside and a safe haven for a variety of waterfowl and wildlife. The preserve features gently sloping topography dotted with dense woodlands and expansive prairies. Slough Lake is tucked within the preserve. A section of the preserve also connects to neighboring Sand Lake.
The parking lot at this site is for Dog Park access only. An annual or daily permit and a dog are required for entry to the Dog Park.
