About Scrivner Road Conservation Area
Scrivner Road Conservation Area (919 acres) is south of Russellville on Route AA then east on Scrivner Road. Turn north on Scott Road and continue one mile.

This area is mostly old fields with forest and cropland. Facilities/features: primitive camping, Winegar Lake (nine acres), permanent stream (South Moreau Creek).

Scrivner Road Conservation Area is in Cole County about three miles south of Russellville. Parts of this 919-acre site were donated by Mrs. Alvon Winegar in 1984. The nine-acre Winegar Lake is a central feature of the area, which also includes more than two miles of South Moreau Creek frontage.

This former cattle farm was extensively grazed and logged in the past and is now managed for wildlife and public recreation. The 8.5-mile Moreau Creek trail system provides access to most of the area.

Management includes periodic prescribed burning to provide high quality wildlife habitat. Field crops left in the creek bottoms and food plots seeded in upland areas provide additional winter food and cover for wildlife.

The target shooting range offers a shotgun range, and 25-, 50-, and 100-yard rifle and pistol ranges.

Special length and creel limits apply to the area's fishing waters (see Area Regulations). From Scrivner Road Conservation Area Website
