Hartley Fort State Preserve

43°26′N 91°22′W / 43.43°N 91.36°W / 43.43; -91.36 Hartley Fort State Preserve is a 2-acre (8,100 m²) state preserve located on the Upper Iowa River in the Driftless Area, in Allamakee County, Iowa, United States.

Geography[edit]

Hartley Fort State Preserve sits on a terrace about 80 feet (24 m) above the Upper Iowa, seven miles (11 km) upstream of the confluence with the Upper Mississippi River.

Native Americans[edit]

The site is noted for remains of a fortified Native American effigy mound settlement. The mound builder people's era ruins seem to be associated with the Woodland period Oneota and Cahokia cultures.

Access[edit]

The Iowa Hartley Fort State Preserve land is privately owned, and there is currently no public access.
