Wood
duck (Aix sponsa) nest houses in the Mead Wildlife Area
The Mead Wildlife Area Headquarters, on county highway S, is located about 45
minutes (30 miles) southwest of Wausau, 20 minutes (15 miles) east of Marshfield
and 25 minutes (20 miles) northwest of Stevens Point. It is about 27,000 acres
of mixed hardwoods and aspen uplands and open marshes that parallel the Little
Eau Pleine River.
There are more than 70 miles of dikes and trails to hike. Access is
restricted in some areas at certain times of the year, but there is plenty of
area to explore any time. The Mead is probably the best all around wildlife
watching acreage in central Wisconsin.
