    Hiking

    The oak savanna at Louisville Swamp is one of Minnesota's rarest and most distinctive wildlife habitats, defined by a blend of prairie grasses, wildflowers, and widely spaced Bur Oak trees. This transitional ecosystem supports a remarkable diversity of plant species and provides critical resources for endangered wildlife, including the Red-headed Woodpecker and various bats, birds, and insects. As a fire-dependent system, its integrity is maintained through regular burns and ongoing restoration efforts by refuge staff to prevent encroachment by non-native species and maintain its open character.
