Decisions, Decisions...(looking for nature in Wisconsin)

5/26/2017

4 Comments

 
I don't know about you, but when it comes to spending time out in nature in Wisconsin, I have a hard time deciding where to go.  There are so many beautiful spaces in our corner of the state, it is so hard to choose just one.  That's part of the reason I began The Park Next Door three years ago.  And one of the things that drives my husband crazy.  "Where are you taking me this weekend?" He often asks.  And I tell him one or two places I'm considering, only to change my mind another two or three times before we head out the door.  I've actually changed my mind while already in the car. Turn right or left? North or south? Oh, for pete's sake!  

So, in an effort to make it easier for you to decide, following is a list of five places to consider for an outdoor Southeastern Wisconsin adventure this weekend. 

Spirit Lake Nature Presere - Mequon - So Peaceful

Picture
Location: 4513 W. Bonniwell Road, Mequon, WI
These 155 acres of preserve were formerly owned by the order Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother.  Purchased by the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust in 2015, the preserve is fast becoming a local treasure.  The Sisters' retreat cabin is still on the property, but not open to the public.  The preserve has a one-half mile tributary that flows to the Milwaukee River, upland hardwood forest, lowland hardwood forest with ephemeral ponds cattail marsh, fresh (wet) meadow, and a small, restored grassland.  There is space for a picnic, and an abundance of bird life. Parking is in a small lot next to Bonniwell Road. You'll need to walk a short distance along the dirt road in to arrive at the preserve.

Beulah Bog and Beulah Bluff - East Troy - A scenic picnic spot, and a boardwalk trail

Picture
Location: Stringers Bridge Road, East Troy, WI
I'd start out with a hike along the Beulah Bog trail and boardwalk, then finish with a picnic on the scenic Beulah Bluff.  Both are great spots for bird watching, and the views from the bluff overlooking Beulah Lake are stunning, and peaceful.  The locations are about five minutes apart, by car.

Carver-Roehl County Park - Clinton, WI - Lush, green, and peaceful

Picture
Location: 4907 Carvers Rock Road, Clinton, WI
This Rock County park, along Spring Brook Creek, clocks in at 53 acres. But it packs a lot of beauty into 53 acres.  The 1.5 mile trail is sometimes steep, but worth the climb. There are plenty of picnic spots available as well. ​

Lake Kegonsa State Park-Stoughton, WI - A day at the beach& more

Picture
Location: 2405 Door Creek Road, Stoughton, WI
​Just 90 minutes ​southwest of Milwaukee, Lake Kegonsa is a perfect spot to spend a summer weekend.  With a beach for sunbathing and swimming, trails for hiking and birding, and a total of 96 camping sites available, Lake Kegonsa is the perfect fit for a weekend away, or an afternoon picnic.

​Glacier Hills County Park - Hubertus, WI - Something for everyone

Picture
Location: 1664 Friess Lake Road, Hubertus, WI
From rugged, hilly hiking trails, to picnics, to beach, Glacier Hills has it all. Just 30 miles northwest of Milwaukee, you'll find wooded trails, birdsong, and sport courts and playgrounds to keep the kids busy all day.

The entire park was stunning. Everything was so green and lush when we were there. I had hoped to get back in the fall, because I'm certain it is just as stunning then. This autumn we will definitely make a point to visit. And, again, this summer, too.

Love your site and follow your posts on Facebook. I see you have found Spirit Lake. Feel free to explore our website (look under "treasures" and "recreation" to find lots of other amazing places in Ozaukee County. Lion's Den Gorge is, of course, our 'jewel in the crown' but there are others, like Kurtz Woods and Donges Bay Gorge, that are spectacular and hardly known.

We have a great event with 6 treasure sites open to the public with top scientist docents on June 17th - more on that on our website as well.

Keep up the excellent work - I am discovering lots of cool things from your posts.
