National Trails Day, June 4

This Saturday, June 4, is National Trails Day! 

We have a great system of trails here at the Discovery Center. On Saturday Licia will be taking a tour through the bog on our awesome bog trail!

 Here is what a few members of our staff have to say about the trails:


From Licia Johnson, one of our naturalists:

The River Trail provides a quiet trek along the Manitowish River.  Swans and many other migrating birds tend to frequent the area.  It’s my favorite trail!

From Anne K. our water education intern: 

The Discovery Center put a gauge in at the dock by the fork in the trail to monitor the water level in Statehouse Lake as part of the citizen science lake level monitoring program in the county. We started the summer season at 53 cm, stop along the trail and see what is it today!

And from Katie, our assistant director:
I've really enjoyed wandering around the trails. So many plants that I haven't seen in years! And yesterday the dragonflies were emerging. It's always a great day for a hike!
