Winnebago Creek

5 miles of Winnebago creek run through the private property of Winnebago Valley Hideaway.  Avid fishermen themselves,  the Burg family has been managing their 5 miles of Winnebago creek with improvements to the habitat.  Fish Cribs have been placed in stratigic spots and because of limited livestock access and grassy pastures along the banks, the water clarity is pristine.  5 miles of private property stream banks keeps fishing pressure down and in some locations nearly un-used.
