A Geological Tour of Willow River State Park

Description

Lace up your hiking boots and join the naturalist on a 4-mile hike to learn about several geological landforms within the park, some dating back over 500 million years ago! 

We’ll start by gaining a background on geology and Wisconsin’s geological past, and you'll have a chance to look at some amazing fossils, rocks and minerals. Then we’ll head out on a 4-mile hike (round trip), which will include some unlevel terrain. The presentation is roughly 1 hour long, and the hike will take around 1.5 hours to complete afterwards, depending on the pace of the group. 

Please come dressed for the weather and bring along water, a snack, binoculars and a camera if you wish! Please note you are more than welcome to come for the presentation portion of the program and opt out of the hike afterwards!

This event costs $5/person, and vehicle admission into the park is required. All outdoor events are weather-dependent.

Seating is limited, so please register for this event.

Meet at the Willow River State Park Nature Center.
