Three Springs Nature Preserve

The Three Springs Nature Preserve, located at 10442 Three Springs Road in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, is a vast 515-acre park that is one of the largest purchases ever made by the Door County Land Trust. This preserve holds historical significance and is a key piece in a wildlife corridor that is considered one of the premier natural landscapes of the western Great Lakes. The springs and creek that run through the property provide specialized habitats for endangered and threatened species such as the Hine's emerald dragonfly and showy lady's slipper. Visitors can enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing, wildlife observation, and some forms of hunting on this preserve. The Door County Land Trust, a local non-profit organization, works tirelessly to protect the exceptional lands and waters of Door County. Visitors are encouraged to respect the preserve by staying on designated trails, keeping pets on a leash, and carrying out any garbage. The preserve is open from dawn until dusk and offers a peaceful retreat into nature just two miles outside of Sister Bay.
