Empire Prairies contains three dry to dry-mesic prairie remnants and a small oak opening that were once part of the extensive Empire Prairie stretching across southern Columbia and northern Dane counties. Located within Mud Lake Wildlife Area, the Hagen Prairie Unit supports a diversity of plants. While most are typical dry-mesic species, wet-mesic species are also present including swamp milkweed and prairie blazing star. In spring, the site features an outstanding display of shooting stars.
