Spring Run complex caters to birders, hunters in the heart of the Iowa Great Lakes

Spring Run is one of the largest, most diverse complexes in Iowa, stretching from Hwy. 9 to the north to Lower Gar Lake to the southwest. The popular public wildlife area follows along almost the entirety of East Okoboji Lake.
Covering roughly 5,000 acres, the Spring Run complex was dedicated as Iowa’s second Bird Conservation Area in 2002, supporting less common bird species, including marsh wrens, black terns, American bitterns, dickcissels, grasshopper sparrows, bobolinks, northern harriers, upland sandpipers, trumpeter swans, and, most recently, nesting sandhill cranes.
