Paths to Discovery Capital Campaign:
Building a New Nature Center at Willow River State Park

Every year, Willow River State Park welcomes nearly 1 million visitors—making it one of the most visited natural destinations in western Wisconsin. Yet, thousands of families and students miss out on year-round learning because our current facility can't keep up with that demand. Through our Paths to Discovery campaign, we are building a new, state-of-the-art Nature Center. A space where nearly a million people can discover nature, discover hands-on learning, and discover community in every season. ​We have the visitors—now we need the venue. Help us pave the path to discovery.
