A Geological Tour of Willow River State Park

Description

Lace up your hiking boots, and join the naturalist on a 5-mile hike, where you’ll learn about several geological landforms within the park, some dating back as far as 570 million years ago. We’ll start by gaining a brief background on geology and WI’s geological past, and you'll have a chance to look at some amazing fossils, rocks and minerals that have been found right here in the park and in St. Croix County. Then we’ll head out on a 5-mile hike (round-trip), including some hilly and unlevel terrain. The hike will take roughly 2.5-3 hours to complete 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.
