👍 Beautiful park with lots of nice hiking trails. Cool nature center aswell. Only downside is they dont allow dogs.

Protected 154-acre area of stabilized lake dunes & wetlands on the edge of Lake Michigan.

👍👍 Stunning spot with lots of space to explore + boardwalks!- my personal favorite. My 1.5 year old loved running up and down hills, climbing stairs, smelling flowers, and getting muddy. We didn't see the sand area until we were leaving...I guess we will have to come back!

Restored natural habitat with trails, wetlands & fields, plus an observation tower.

👍👍 We met friends here to enjoy a fall hike. The trail is pretty short, but what a beautiful place for photography. There are bathrooms and next door is a cute antique shop.

👍👍 Updated, Memorial Day '23. Honeysuckle and poppy's in bloom. Trails were full of sweet vanilla scent! Excellent hiking for 3 seasons. Great trail options with varying scenery from pines to prairies to undulating hardwood forest. Multiple loops allow for distances from 1 to 9+ miles. Occasionally or...

👍👍 This little spot is amazing! They are a research facility, eco education resource and a community center all in one. The volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, the building is clean and inviting. There are numerous activities and events for all ages.

👍👍 The nature center buildings are not open at the end of October. But the trails are and there is a cool lookout tower that you can climb and see the sites. There are some neat gardens that are educational and very pretty. We'll just have to go back when the buildings are open for a broader experience...

👍👍 Great place to go for a little hike and for taking photos. It is $4 to park in the parking lot but they do accept credit or cash. The lady at the desk (so sorry that I forgot your name, you were lovely!) was really nice and informative. Even told me where the prime spots were for photos even though...

👍👍 When I explored Lac Lawran, I had a blast! It was mid-March, so it was extremely wet and muddy. I would visit here again in mid to late Summer, especially for the oak prairie they have. It will hold plenty of wildlife and I guess mostly birds! There are a few trails within the main forest surroundin...

👍👍 This is a treasure of a Shoppe to go to. It was a beautiful drive out there from Ozaukee County. I saw a segment on TV Fox6 and was happy to have seen it on the news. The Museum was very nice and well laid out, learned a lot actually!! Found many items to try at home and also as gifting ideas. The s...

👍👍 Beautiful park for a nice low key stroll

👍👍 Amazing as always, got a chance to see an owl today (center of pic).

👍👍 Picked out by my adventurous 11yr old. Stigler was a solid 12mi bike ride from where we live in Greenfield but the trail was lovely! Wide and well maintained lightly trafficked on a weekday evening but with diverse enough woodsy scenery to make the short hike quite pleasant. Enjoy the photos!
