  • Hiking trails through wooded areas, along the river, boardwalks through swampy areas, canoes and kayaks available for rent. There is also an education center indoors and an outside ampitheater...

  • Kayaking, canoeing, nature walks, sugarin' off, pancake breakfasts Sundays in March, student programs, summer camps: you can find all of this and more. A Racine community gem.

  • What an amazing hidden gem, and this place is way bigger than I thought it would be. I got lost three times, it was delightful. Wildlife were elusive and I had a couple animals play tag with me, daring me to try to get a shot, sadly they won so I have no pictures of them. I changed my rating system so please note that I would be giving this place 4.5 if I could. Anything three stars and up is very good. This place relies on donations, membership fees, and gift shop purchases so if you come visit please consider one or all of those. I have included some shots of a story book driven trail, it looks like it was written by the founder maybe, it was very cute but I came from the opposite way. (I would include video but Google isn't allowing mp4 even though they say it's supported)
  • Just a wonderful community gem! They offer various events and kids programs as well as canoe, kayak, snowshoe, and building rentals! Affordable and well managed! No dogs allowed but still a great space!
