Hi Everyone,
Out of concern for our visitors, staff, and volunteers, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues we will be following Wisconsin Department of Health and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' guidelines. For the most up to date information, follow this link.
Please check back for updates.
Stay Well,

Learn about our campaign for a new nature center at Willow River State Park:
Given the chance, a child will bring the confusion of the world to the woods, wash it in the creek, and turn it over to see what lives on the unseen side of that confusion...
In nature a child finds freedom, fantasy, and privacy; a place distant
from the adult world, a separate peace.
