Why it is a Conservation Priority
Square Lake Preserve south of Bellevue contains a sage grouse mating ground known as a lek. Sage grouse populations have declined drastically in the Intermountain West due to the loss of critical sagebrush habitat. Wood River Land Trust works to protect important wildlife habitat like this so our future generations can enjoy the same magnificent displays of nature as we enjoy today!

What To Do And See:
Depending on the weather, this ritual is performed early in the morning before the sun rises throughout the month of April. If you are interested in viewing this amazing performance, please contact us for details. Groups will be small and dates may be flexible.



Visiting Square Lake:

Square Lake is located 3.5 miles south of the blinking light at Timmerman Hill (the intersection of Hwys 75 and 20). Because of the sensitivity of the sage grouse and their lek, please contact us to arrange a time to view the birds during their spring mating season.

Restoration & Education Goals:
We are currently working to create a management plan for the area.
