Always great, knowledgeable Staff here. There's a Natural History Museum, Conservation Hall of Fame, porch with benches for picnics, a meeting room with projector and other amenities, and a gift shop with some local critters. Always fun to visit! UWSP students also have programs here often so ask Staff about upcoming programs!
It offers a beautiful walk through the woods and around a small lake, where people were ice fishing the end of February. The trails were not cleared of snow, so not w/c accessible, but the snow was packed down and it was easy walking with hiking boots. A variety of paths allowed for short or long walks. The visitor center has a small shop with snacks, books, cups, clothing etc. , an exhibitions that tells about the history of the area, and a sunroom for bird watching. Overall very kid friendly and the perfect activity to fight cabin fever in the winter.
Schmeekle Forest Reserve is not what it seems on paper, words alone can not fully describe this plot of forest. This areas is ran by the University of Steven point Wisconsin and not by a state branch, meaning there goals are different. Plenty of programs for all ages and a natural trail system that winds through out the reserve. This also valued resource to the college of natural resource and I personally have done research here.nnSome events as the candlelight hike are an iconic attraction that many residents come to visit. I return often and will be proud to assist this reserve.
The Schmeeckle Visitor Center is a great resource for people of all ages to explore the natural resources. The gift shop has some really great merchandise and the staff are always friendly and helpful, willing to help visitors with any questions or concerns they may have. My favorite aspect of the visitor center is the animals on display in the gift shop, mostly Diablo the tiger salamander. The bull frog is also pretty neat; you can sometimes get him to jump at your finger as if it's a worm.nOverall, the visitor center is a lovely headquarters for both Schmeeckle Reserve and the Green Circle. Stop in on your next visit!
There's a visitor center and lots of hiking trails, a man made Lake, and tons of nature and animals to enjoy. Went on a candlelight hike tonight with 400 carved pumpkins along the trail.
