About Marshall Diggs Conservation Area
Marshall I. Diggs Conservation Area is in Audrain and Montgomery counties, 3.5 miles southwest of Wellsville. To reach the area take Highway ZZ to Route RA. The area begins one-quarter mile west of this junction.

This area is more than half forest and also contains cropland, old fields, grassland, savanna, and prairie. Facilities/features: boat ramp, picnic area, pavilion, and two fishable lakes (Lake Walter and Lake Whitesell).

The area is named after Marshall I. Diggs, who donated 610 acres of the area to the Conservation Department in 1958. The Wellsville Firebrick Company donated 160 acres. Funds from Mr. Diggs were used to bring the area to its present size of 1,017 acres.

The area includes 600 acres of timber, which are managed primarily for mast (nut) production and 400 acres of open fields. Two large lakes (totaling 20 acres) are stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and channel catfish. The open fields have native prairie grasses; shrubs, such as plum and sumac; and cereal grains, such as milo and corn, which are planted to provide winter food for wildlife.
