Heckrodt Wetland
Reserve includes 76
acres of forested
wetland, wetland
meadow, open water,
and upland field
communities. The
wheelchair & stroller-friendly 3+ mile trail
system includes 2 miles of boardwalk that
allows access to the wetland without getting
wet feet! The Reserve is home to a variety of
mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, and
amphibians. Facilities include a nature
center with indoor living wetland and live
reptiles, amphibians, and fish, as well as
mounted specimens of Wisconsin mammals
and bird species. Educational programs are
provided for schools, daycares, special focus
groups (pre-school, grade school, scouts, and
senior citizens), and the general public. Our
goal is to provide visitor education while
fostering an ethic of environmental
stewardship in a fun, hands-on atmosphere.
