"Really cool place. Our first visit was on Cider Sunday which was a phenomenal event! Loved all the trails. They are open year round and have tons of events. We became members and the price for an annual membership was so reasonable and the costs for the events are also very reasonable. Great local place, an oasis in the city. Beautiful way to get away from screens and out into nature."

"The Wehr Nature Center is a true gem for all southeastern Wisconsin residents and we are so fortunate to have access to it. I absolutely love immersing myself into the beauty of nature while walking around the lake. Numerous species of birds, along with turtles, fish, sand cranes and more are what you might come a peas on your way."

"Great place to go for a little hike and for taking photos. It is $4 to park in the parking lot but they do accept credit or cash. The lady at the desk (so sorry that I forgot your name, you were lovely!) was really nice and informative. Even told me where the prime spots were for photos even though the waterfall was dried up. Even encountered a family of turkeys while I was there. The people I came across were friendly as well."

"Wehr Nature Center has several miles of trails that range from prairie to marsh, forest to grassland. At the center of the park is a small lake. Some of the trails are handicap-accessible. The park is free; parking is $4. The park's trails are open year-around."
