South Grand River Missouri Wetlands page 2
Our South Grand River Missouri wetlands are a sizable endeavor meaning plenty of places to hunt and a consequence as the ducks typically pick one more spots over others of where they want to be changing day by day through the season.
This diagram is one more section of our wetlands.
Blind 1
Before picture after camouflaging the blind and before flooding.
Typically, the lake is drained in mid June to allow smart weed and wild millet time to grow. We mow a circle in front and behind the blind for a shooting pool and close the gates the end of August.
The water source is a combination of run off and overflow from the Grand 
River. Crop is planted to the edge of the marsh.
After the crop is harvested a 12 inch extension is placed on the overflow pipe to flood the crop stubble.
Access is difficult and chest waders are required. Members have enjoyed quality waterfowl hunting from this blind for over 15 years.
The lake is 1/2 mile long and covers close to 50 surface water acres. Late season goose hunting can be very productive for those that are tough enough to break ice and carry their gear and decoys from the parking area to the blind.
Blind 2
The shooting pool and surrounding water surface looking out from blind 2.
Chest waders are required to access the blind. Under normal conditions, it's an easy walk from the parking area. If the roads are muddy, be prepared to walk 3/4 of a mile. ATV's are allowed to haul decoys to and from the blinds, but they must be parked at the parking area, not near the blind. Remember we are real duck hunters and do not go for sloppy methods.
Blind 2 faces the Grand River to the south.
The shooting pool covers a 10 acre area and is 2 to 3 feet deep.
This wetland was developed by the Association in 1982. Levees and pipes have been added over the years to improve both the habitat and the hunting.
Blind 2 is only a 50 minute drive from Kansas City. Private land in this area is high demand and almost impossible to acquire. The Grand River is a major tributary to Truman Lake, which has open water for late season hunting when many other Missouri waterfowl areas are frozen and not huntable.
