Nature Feature
Whether you’re looking to do a calming, solitary hike in the woods of Northeast Wisconsin or to throw an impromptu beer and brats party on a sandy beach, we have recommendations for the best nature scenes in NE Wisco!
Brown County Reforestation Camp
Brown County Reforestation Camp is one of my favorite Brown County nature romps for many reasons, including its relatively secluded location, reasonably low attendance, and extensive hiking, biking, and horse trails that provide ample opportunities to take in the beautiful placidity of the Northeast Wisconsin woods. Personally, I like to come here to decompress after a long week at school and work.
As can be inferred by the name, this park is also home to a substantial campground, with a substantial variety of amenities. Having visited people staying there a few times (though, unfortunately, not yet having camped there myself), I can attest to its quality as a campground. Facilities like bathrooms and showers are available to all who choose to use them. Finally, the park’s proximity to attractions like the NEW Zoo and Adventure Center provide extra nature-based opportunities for all ages and many interests! This winter, try renting out a fat tire bike, with its tires built for riding on snow and ice, and taking it for a nice ride through the park’s many mountain bike trails.
