Headland Dunes State Nature Preserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 One of my favorite thing to do is go on extreme hikes that require jumping between borders. Likely enough this park has just that. From the fishing area past the light house you'll find boulders.

Steyer Nature Preserve

Nature preserve

😐 Sorry guys, but we do not like the new river access. We found the steps difficult to carry our kayaks down and back up. Also, getting in the river with a decent size drop off. Water was low though. Also, those large stones are good for twisting an ankle. The ramp was much easier. Looks nice but not...

Brown's Lake Bog Preserve

👍👍 Grand little park. Most of the trail to the bog is boardwalk. The bushes are a bit tall in September. Be careful there may be poison sumac. The secondary trail has boardwalks over a few wet areas. Sign the guest book. I’m anxious to go back in a different season.
