Outdoors: Tefft Savanna Nature Preserve

Tefft Savanna Click to Enlarge Introduction Tefft Savanna Nature Preserve includes an oak savanna that is perhaps wetter than most. The preserve consists of two tracts adjacent to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish & Wildlife Area. County Road 1000 North, a badly rutted dirt road that gets more primitive as it continues to the west, divides the largest and most accessible area. There are no established trails, so you may find it most convenient to walk into the preserve along the road and make forays into its interior. Stands of oak trees are interspersed with glades prone to seasonal ponding, along with areas that hold water year round. Use caution, as DNR permits hunting in season. Trails None. Facilities None, though adjacent Jasper-Pulaski has limited facilities. Directions View Larger Map Jasper County.
