Beautiful reserve next to UWSP. Lots of great trails that connect to the Green circle. One trail leads to Lake Joanis. Might see deer and other animals

I love going here. Every time my husband and I do a walk through this park we find new mushrooms and come across cool animals. The scenery is very cozy and I think what they are doing here for the ecosystem is wonderful. My husband and I also enjoyed kayaking here.

If you're looking to get away without getting away for a few hours this is the place to go. It's generally quiet and very peaceful. There are a few different ways to go and plenty to look at. You can truly enjoy nature and I've often seen deer and other critters chilling about. As you make your way around the reserve it feels like walking into a new world every time you go to a different spot. Very beautiful and highly recommend visiting at least once even if it's for a short walk.
