About Compton Hollow Conservation Area
From Marshfield, take I-44 west to exit 96, then Route B south 5 miles, then Compton Hollow Road east about 1 mile.

This is a mostly forest area.

Compton Hollow Conservation Area is in Webster County, approximately 20 miles east of Springfield and nine miles west of Marshfield. Visitors can access this 840-acre area from Compton Hollow Road, where two parking lots are located about 0.75 mile apart. Visitors can also access the northwestern part of this area from Conservation Lane, which is a road heading south off of Route B. There is a parking lot located there.

Approximately 90 percent of the area is forested. Non-forested areas are composed of old fields and wildlife food plots. Several small ponds provide wildlife watering holes. The area is home to numerous game and non-game species, including deer, turkey, squirrel, and raccoon.

Food plots, forest thinnings and small forest clearings are designed to improve wildlife habitat and natural community health.

Compton Hollow contains two distinct natural features: several small dolomite glades and a dry-mesic chert woodland. These features are protected and managed to maintain or increase their natural qualities. From Compton Hollow Conservation Area web site
