Wykoff Balsam Fir Scientific and Natural Area 
County Highway 8
Spring Valley, MN 55975

Wykoff Balsam Fir SNA is located in southeastern Minnesota's Driftless Area, a region of high topographic relief that escaped the scouring effects of the most recent (Wisconsin) glaciation and its overburden of till. Limestone or dolomite bedrock tends to be at or near the surface, often deeply dissected by streams. Surface water and groundwater interact relatively freely through sinkholes and fissures in the bedrock.
