About Belcher Branch Lake Conservation Area
From St. Joseph take I-29 south to Faucett east (Exit 35), proceed east on Route DD three miles to County Road 330, proceed south 0.75 mile to area entrance. This tract is mostly cropland and old fields with some forest and grassland.

The Conservation Department purchased this area in 1989 and completed construction of Belcher Branch Lake in June 1992. In addition to the 55-acre Belcher Branch Lake, the area contains cropland, grasslands, and timber. The area surrounding the lake features modestly sloping terrain with well-drained soils, including a thick layer of loess on the upland portions.

The Conservation Department manages the forest, fish, and wildlife resources of this area to provide for public recreation and to protect soil and water quality. Farming, mowing, discing, and prescribed burning are used to improve wildlife habitat. From Belcher Branch Lake Conservation Area Website || media type="custom" key="26736448"
