Best places: Nature preserves in Sturgeon Bay, United States

Network of coastal wetlands, dunes & forests known for walking paths & lakes rich in bird life.

👍👍 I absolutely love going to this little marsh, walking the long boardwalk. I have a birding app which identifies a lot of different birds so we had a lot of fun. It’s very easy to walk as it’s all new. It also has very close parking available truly worth taking your binoculars.

👍👍 A very nice, easy and well maintained universal access trail to a very beautiful lookout point. The parking is pretty limited. There's a porta potty on the trail, well appreciated. Good signage on the trails so you don't get lost. Stay on trails and watch out for poison ivy. Have a fun hike!!!

1,600 acres of protected state natural park with 30 ridges, wetlands & hiking trails to explore.

😐 I would've rated it higher EXCEPT for one simple thing! We looked online before driving almost 3 hours to get there to see if dogs were allowed. Online says yes! When we arrived, dogs are ONLY allowed in the lower small half. Completely unacceptable information online! Update your website!

👍👍 This hike was great. The views and forest scenes are wonderful. It is posted as 2 miles but it is closer to over 3 if you do it all. Know that this is an intermediate hike with a lot of rugged trail and climbing. My friend accused me of taking them on a hike for Mountain goats. It is not some...

👍👍 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...

👍👍 we visited open door on 9/2 and had such a great time viewing the birds and learning about them. the folks running this sanctuary are extremely kind and knowledgeable. every half hour of the day, a different bird would be taken out by a volunteer to show us up close and give a lesson on. the sanctua...

👍👍 Words are useless to describe this area. This place is for people to enjoy and revere. Bicyclists and walkers are welcome. Please keep this place clean

👍👍 I love Navarino State Wildlife Area. The Navarino Nature Center provides a place to park so that you can access miles of trails through bogs, marshland, meadows, and woods. The trails offer many hours of peaceful, serene, and calming exercise. In the spring, summer, and autumn many wetland fowl s...

👍👍 I really enjoyed my hike here. It was a little tough to find. Just to drive on Ridges road until you see Toft point road on the left where you'll stumble across a road that's the size for one car that is the entrance and exit with a very small parking lot. It is a little bit of a hike from the parki...

👍👍 A nugget of peace and quiet with scenic views and nice trails. If you enjoy nature and don't need to be entertained by modern distractions, you'll enjoy this spot. Wear good walking shoes and enjoy the hike. Trails are groomed well but you'll encounter some rocks, ruts, and roots.

👍 Great trails. Well marked though the map excludes some of the trails. Expect to get muddy or wet as you hike nearer to the river

👍👍 I can’t say enough about this place! I am so glad this land is been preserved. So beautiful, so many hiking options, great place for cross country skiing. When you compare this place to the state parks, it has more to offer without having to purchase a sticker. It is a great place to drop a contribu...

👍👍 I love hiking the trails in the forest. I love boardwalks even more. The trillium trail, and black cherry both have a boardwalk at the 1 end of the trail. You can also take the trillium trail which intersects with the ice age trail segment that runs behind Aurora. It was muddy in spots before i...

👍👍 Never busy, mice little hidden gem. Nice 2 mile loop hike with great views. Dog friendly!
