A Geological Tour of Willow River State Park

Saturday, November 8 at 10am sharp. Meet at the Willow River Nature Center. 

Lace up your hiking boots, and join the naturalist on a 4-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 background on geology and WI’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 and vehicle admission into the park is a separate and required fee. All outdoor events are weather-dependent. For more info email: naturecenter@willowkinnifriends.org.
