DIRECTIONS TO AGHAMING PARK AND PRESERVE.

  • From Winona MN, drive east on MN Highway 43 across the interstate bridge.
  • Turn right onto Latsch Island before the Welcome-to-Wisconsin sign.
  • Do not turn onto any dirt road. Continue right on paved road back toward the main channel, the Minnesota side, of the Mississippi. The channel appears in less than 500 yards.
  • Drive downriver beside the Mississippi 1/8 mile until an old cement bridge appears on the left.
  • Cross the bridge, and you arrive at Aghaming. Birding is excellent on the second old dirt roadbed on the right after the bridge, called Prothonotary Trail by local enthusiasts. Prothonotary Trail leads to what Richie calls Osprey Marsh upriver, and Death Road Marsh downriver.

Please, conserve habitat by respecting vehicle-use restrictions and other posted rules.
