Ledge View Nature Center

Wisconsin, United States

---

Ledge View Nature Center in Wisconsin is a 105-acre park located just south of Chilton, known for its natural dolomite caves, hiking trails, and educational exhibits. The park features about 2.5 to 3 miles of trails winding through forests, prairies, and fields, with a 60-foot observation tower offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Visitors can explore three natural solution caves via guided tours, enjoy an arboretum, butterfly and rain gardens, and an inactive quarry.

The nature center offers interactive exhibits on local wildlife and geology, including lake sturgeon, bats, birds, and the Niagara Escarpment's geological history. Educational programs cover subjects such as caving, sedimentary geology, maple syrup tapping, and winter ecology with snowshoeing. The park is open daily from dawn to dusk with no fee for trail use, though the nature center building is temporarily closed for remodeling until mid-2025.
