About Linscomb Wildlife Area
Intensive grassland restoration management is occurring on this conservation area. This work will improve habitat for many species of wildlife including, quail, rabbits, grassland songbirds, and pollinators like monarch butterflies and native bees. Management efforts will center around large-scale removal of invasive trees, controlling invasive plants with herbicide, and seeding native prairie plants. Portions of the area may be posted as closed for public safety during these efforts.

From El Dorado Springs, take MO=82 northeast 9 miles, then Route OO north 1.50 miles.

This area contains grassland, forest, cropland and wetlands. There is a permanent stream (Simms Creek).

Formerly known as Winding River Ranch, the property (1,728 acres) was deeded to the Missouri Department of Conservation from the NeVada P. Linscomb Trust in 1998.

In 2003, Linscomb Trust purchased 146 additional acres. This 1,874 acre wildlife area contains several small ponds. The Osage River Arm of Truman Reservoir borders to the north and Simms Creek borders to the east.

The south portion of the area contains remnant prairie, while the southeast portion is oak/hickory savanna. The remainder of the area consists of cropland, old fields, timber, and wetlands. From Linscomb Wildlife Area web site
