Goose Creek is home to a prairie fen habitat, which is a unique wetland that is found only in the glaciated Midwest.[1] More than 200 plant species have been recorded here, including native orchids and pitcher plants, as well as blazing star, sunflowers, and Joe-Pye weed.
Many species of birds have also been spotted at Goose Creek. It is not uncommon to see hawks, meadowlarks, red-winged blackbirds and yellow warblers all in one visit.
