Russell Wildlife Area in Ottumwa

Great people that works their. Very knowledge in the outdoors. Also the ponds are great as well!

Beautiful place to get away. Escape the stress of life and go fishing! Clean ponds. Quiet. Good walking paths to each pond. Fish may not be huge but you always catch something! Great place to use a kayak or small jon boat

Great place clean and serene

Shooting range was well set up and well maintained

This place is my favorite after-work therapy

The gun range is horrible. The up keep on it is terrible. Wish they would fix it up. I like going out there to shoot. Not handicap accessible. If they fixed it up it would be a nice place to shoot

It was great fishing for catfish. Caught 6big ones.

Great to fish

It is a beautiful place to camp and hike and fishing

Public range could use a refresh, and some basic weed/brush management.

Excellent fishing
