South Trail of Page Creek Marsh has a small parking area featuring a huge tree hanging over part of the parking area. This is the head of the south trail known as the “Marsh Trail”, It is not maintained well and is a little hard to follow due to the lack of use. The trail is only about .25 miles through pretty dense Wisconsin woods, that leads to a small bridge over Page Creek. (Photographers’ Notes: Bridge was out… as of June 2019)
