Discover Heron Island!
Located within Shields Lake is Heron Island Bird Sanctuary. A six acre bird sanctuary that was purchased by Rice County “For the Birds”. Once one of the largest rookeries for the Great Blue Heron and the American Egret in the Upper Midwest, birdwatchers at McCullough Park and Campground may see a glimpse of both species.

Let’s Fish!
Those who fish in Shields Lake (940 acres) will likely find Black Crappie, Bluegill, Bowfin, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.

For the Nature Lovers!
