STONY HILL

NATURE TRAIL

Welcome to the Stony Hill Nature

Trail. The trail is 1.6 miles and takes

approximately 1 hour from start to fin-

ish. Parts of the trail are steep as it

climbs 184 feet to a lookout point at the

top with a view of the Brule River Val-

ley. Along the way the way there will

be guides to the natural and cultural

history of the Brule River State Forest.

At the fork in the trail, follow the trail

clockwise up the gradual slope and

learn about the area from past to pre-

sent. For a more strenuous hike, fol-

low the trail counter clockwise and let

our guides take you back in time. Ei-

ther way, take time to rest and learn

about one of Wisconsin’s first state

forests and the river that has been

called Mad River, Bois Brule, and the

River of Presidents among others.
