The Ridges Sanctuary

"I love coming here to hike or run! There is a massive board walk that is wheelchair/ stroller accessible, and then there are super great trails behind the boardwalk that are great for meandering! This place is truly a sliver of peace!"

"The Ridges Sanctuary is beautiful. I had entered from Bailey's Harbor Range Lights. This had a wooden plank walkway between the Range Lights. From here we branched off to the main office of the Ridges Sanctuary. I would recommend to enter from either location. It was a $5 entry per person. They had boxes to put this is at multiple locations. Overall my family and I will be back again to checkout the rest of the trails. The trails off the wooden boardwalk are all dirt paths so dress accordingly."

"I've only ever gone to the Ridges for classes and events, so I've paid in advance online. 2 of my kids have done the Tiny Trekkers class multiple times. And we've been there for season celebrations and whatnot. They have multiple locations with lots of beautiful nature to explore at each spot. The boardwalk at their main location (where the Nature Center is located) is a wonderful and beautiful nature walk. Other locations have trails, trees, sand, beaches, etc. All gorgeous! The Ridges has a lot of different educational options from classes to guided hikes to events to a Forest School. They are definitely an amazing resource for anyone who is into the outdoors."

"This was a nice activity to do but wasn't really worth the hype. It costs $5 per person to do the trails. We did the most common one which is 1.3 miles and takes you through each of the trails. I think it would have been better if there wasn't a small drought happening during the time we went."

"This is a fantastic nature preserve, with a variety of trails and ecosystems. You can easily see wild turkey, deer, foxes, and a ton of wildlife all in one outing! The field house is incredible, with helpful staff and a ton of resources (and classes) available. If you are a fan of Door County state parks, then you'll fall in love with the Ridges. The trails are open dusk until dawn, and a 5 dollar donation is asked. Well worth the money!"
