A Geological Tour Of Willow River State Park

Description

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

We’ll start by gaining 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 afterward, 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: people are more than welcome to come for the presentation portion of the program and opt out of the hike.
