Wildlife Observation Tower

The Observation Tower Trail is a 1.0 mile long loop with the main feature being the Wildlife Observation Tower itself.  The tower has 3 levels: the ground with a concrete pad, the second level giving a little shelter from the element and the third level with a build in spotting scope and the best view.  From the tower you can see a panoramic view probably over a mile at some points with a wide area of wildlife mostly migration birds.  There is a wildlife view optic built into the structure if you don’t have a super telephoto lens.  This location give people access, look and feeling of a large Central Wisconsin swamp which typically for the general public would be hard to get too.  This area is a wildlife hot spot not just for migratory birds, waterfowl, song birds and birds of prey but for animals like Black Bear, Whitetail Deer, Gray Wolves, Red Fox, Mink, Musk Rats, Squirrels, Rabbits, River Otter, Beaver and other Wisconsin Wildlife.    Some of the main birds that can be seen here are Bald Eagles, Great Horned Owl, Red-Tailed Hawks, Cooper’s Hawk, Osprey, Ring-Necked Ducks, American Wigeon, Mallard Duck, Sandhill Crane, Great Blue Heron, Whooping Cranes and so much more…

Sign Reads at the beginning of the trail by the parking lot:

  • “Most animals are best seen in the early morning and evening hours.
  • Scan places where wildlife might hide.
  • Watch for movement.
  • Use binoculars or spotting scopes for a closer look.
  • Listen – often you will hear more than you can see.
  • Do not feed animals as this may be harmful to them.
  • Do not chase or harass wildlife – remember, you are a visitor in their home.”
