About Kickapoo Prairie Conservation Area
From I-44 exit 38 at Stotts City, take MO-97 north 8 miles. Continue on MO-97 north of the MO-96 junction two miles and turn west on a county gravel road (Lawrence 2040) for about 0.5 mile to the parking lot.

This is a native prairie area. Kickapoo Prairie CA is 160 acres of native prairie and brushy draws located in northern Lawrence County. The area represents only a small remnant of a much larger tallgrass prairie ecosystem that once dominated the landscape. The area still contains a wide variety of native prairie plant species including a showy wildlflower display during the spring and summer months.

MDC staff manages the prairie with prescribed fire to promote a diverse prairie plant community and haying to help control woody brush invasion. Recreational opportunities include bird watching for a variety of grassland bird species and fair to good hunting for rabbit and quail. From Kickapoo Prairie Conservation Area web site
